{Daq} alone means "site, location" (n). The Type 5 Noun Suffix construction
appears to be somewhat like the Noun-Noun construction, i.e., {DujDaq} means
"the site of the ship," thus, "on the ship." I do not feel comfortable with
saying "the location of the site," even though many of the engineers for whom
I write do just that. I submit a rephrashing of your sentence above to:
{SoHtaHbogh Daqvetlh vISovbe'}.
Also, I apologize for my ignorance regarding MO's retraction of TKD p172's
{jIHtaHbogh naDev vISovbe'}, which I then used to make the paraphrase
{SoHtaHbogh pa' vISovbe'}.
