KLBC "Locative"

I was reading over page 29-30 of the TKD,(bottom), the sentence: pa'
wIjDaq...in my quarters.

pa'...noun...room
-wIj....4...my
-Daq...5...locative

Concerning  the necessity of -Daq, the type 5 locative suffix in this
sentence. For instance, If someone were to say "where did you put the keys"
wouldn't it be just as correct to say [my quarters] instead of [in my
quarters]? considering that klingons are not as wordy as humans.

The [wIj...my] seems to indicate location.
ex. Q.   Where are the keys?
     A.   my quarters.
