[Tlhingan-hol] KLBC: multiple locatives

[fata irae]

I am mildly confused by this.  What makes -vo' different from -Daq' in this
context?  Is it that -Daq' is ~labeled~ as the locative?  Or does this
imply that you can come 'from' there abouts, but not 'to' there abouts?
(as always, I'm willing to accept this if so, but it would imply
interesting socio-linguistic permutations on klingon).

'arHa:

specifying multiple non-objects in the sentence header, since all the
examples I could find were singletons.  The only alternative I could think
of was to connect them with 'ej, as De'vID was saying: {pa'vo' pa'Daq je
vIHtaH qa'}.
