Is it actually INSIDE the mountains?  Dug deep into the rock?  You got the
{qoD} you (and others) have wanted for a while, don't go using it for other
things now!  It means "inside, interior."  Not "among."

"pa'".  You know that "'e'" doesn't mean "that" in the sense of a thing,
only in the sense of referring to the previous sentence as the object of
the current sentence.  See section 6.2.5.  "Klingon has two special
pronouns... which refer to the previous sentence as a whole.... They are
always treated as the object of the verb."  To say "there" use "pa'", per
section 3.3.5.  I suppose one could conceivably say "DaqvetlhDaq", though
that sounds pretty long-winded.
