I believe you have used {-vo'} correctly. The sense of motion need not 
be literal. We have an example sentence, {pa'vo' pagh leghlu'} "the room 
has no view" (literally, "from the room, one sees nothing) from 
Conversational Klingon, which does the same thing.

However, you used the wrong verb prefix. {mu-} means "he/she/it/they do 
something to me." You want {jI-} "I do something (not to anything in 
particular)."
