No. It is simply an adverbial showing the location. The {-meH}
clause is apparently modifying the verb {ghom}. They are meeting
in order to set up the government. {pa'} is definitely not the
direct object of {ghom}. It might be replacing {vaS'a'Daq}, but
not {vaS'a'}. It's grammatical function is purely locative,
which is essentially adverbial, which is why {pa'} is classified
as such. Time stamps and locatives really are adverbials. That's
why they have to go at the beginning of a Klingon sentence,
right there with the OTHER adverbials. Most Type 5 modified
nouns are adverbial. >>
I have to agree with charghwI' here. {pa'} is still acting as an adverb,
referring back to a locative phrase, not back to a noun alone.
