Do you mean by this that BOTH cases of the '?" had to occur within the same
verse? That is not enough. Verses often start within a line, so it is a
question of all occurances of '?"s, whether within the same verse or not.
Take the example of the missing '?' within the very second verse of the
whole text.

Your list is a good start though.
