where?
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative adverb of place (Gr,D); indeclinable, no case, gender, or number; functions to ask about spatial position or destination. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
somewhere
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Here, 'pou' is not interrogative but serves idiomatically as 'somewhere' or 'about' when paired with age ('about one hundred years old'), so 'somewhere' fits the nuance better than 'where?'. |
