[Tlhingan-hol] -vo' question

[Fiat Knox]

IIRC, it's been established that -Daq and -vo' apply only to physical movement to or from a given location.

3.3.5 Syntactic markers
-Daq and -vo' are 
strictly locative; they refer only to motion, or location. They can't be used in other situations in which English uses "to", "in" or "from" in a metaphorical sense (eg. "I translate from English to Klingon"; you can't use -Daq for "to" or -vo' for "from"). [HQ v8n1p7], quoted here from http://teresh.tdonnelly.org/kliadd3.html
