interrogation.]
1. The act of interrogating or questioning; examination by
questions; inquiry.
2. A question put; an inquiry.

Note: In works printed in the Spanish language this mark is
not only placed at the end of an interrogative
sentence, but is also placed, inverted [as thus
([iques])], at the beginning.
