Just as in PPCME2,PPCEME.

Direct and indirect questions are parsed CP-QUE.

Example with WPRO:

( (IP-MAT (CONJ en-en)
	  (NEG eigi-eigi)
	  (VBPI vitum-vita)
	  (NP-SBJ (PRO-N vér-ég))
	  (, ,-,)
	  (CP-QUE (WNP-1 (WPRO-N hvað-hver))
		  (C 0)
		  (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ *T*-1)
			  (VBPI veldur-valda)))
	  (. .-.))
  (ID PILTUR,.7))

Example with WADV:

	  (IP-INF (TO að-að)
		  (VB-TA segja-segja)
		  (, ,-,)
		  (CP-QUE (WADVP-1 (WADV hvar-hvar))
			  (C 0)
			  (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (PRO-PFSN hún-hún))
				  (BED-IA3SD var-vera)
				  (PP (P-A í-í)
				      (NP (N-MSADC heim$-heimur) (D $inn-hinn)))
				  (VAN-DAFSN borin-bera))))

Note that in cases where the clause is ambiguous between a CP-QUE and CP-FRL, CP-QUE is the default.

EF

When EF 'if' heads a question, it is tagged WQ:

				      (CONJP (CONJ og-og)
					     (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ *con*)
						     (VBDI spurðu-spyrja)
						     (, ,-,)
						     (CP-QUE (WQ ef-ef)
							     (C 0)
							     (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (PRO-N hann-hann))
								     (BEDS væri-vera)
								     (NP-PRD (NPR-N Kristur-kristur)))))))))
	  (. .-.))
  (ID HOMILIUBOK,.217))

Whether or not a complementizer position is filled, it is always included.
