These words may perhaps be translated more literally as "area around here,"
"area over there,"
and "all places," respectively. Unlike other nouns, these three words are
never followed by the locative suffix. (Note that {pa'} <thereabouts> and
{pa'} <room> are identical in sound; {pa'Daq,} however, can mean only
<in/to the room.>)" TKD p27–28
