Even Okrand has made a few mistakes. TKD p28 states "{pa'} 'thereabouts' and
{pa'} 'room' are identical in sound; {pa'Daq}, however, can mean only 'in/to
the room.'"
Thus, I contend that "What's happening over there?" must be {pa' qaStaH nuq}
and {pa'Daq qaStaH nuq} must translate as "What's happening in the room?"
