Non-manual components of partial interrogative sentences appear often only on the interrogative sign, but can extend sometimes to a preceding sign. When the initial signs of the interrogative sentence are marked non-manually as a theme (raised eyebrows), the partial interrogative markers come with the interrogative sign.
