AFAIK there's only one example in canon:

jar DamaSqu'bogh yIngu' 
What/Which is your favorite month? (st.k 12/12/96)
("Identify the month that you very much prefer!")

st.k 12/12/1996:  "In this case, since prefer involves making a choice, the one chosen is automatically the one that is most preferred.

Related words:

neH 		want (v)
qaq 		be preferable (v)
wIv 		choose, select (v)

wIv 		choice (n)
