You seem to think we disagree. I gave a poor description.
{ghoS} always implies a course or path. It's object (direct or
indirect) tends to be a location somewhere on that path. It might be
in front of you or behind you. It's still a point on the path. You may
be heading toward it or away from it, or you might even be at the
location of the object, but bIghoStaHchugh, the path is the thing you
are moving along. The object is just a location that identifies the
path. If the path itself has a name, that works as an object, like
{bIQtIqDaq jIghoS}.
I did not intend to imply that any location associated with {ghoS} had
to be a destination.
The suffix {-vo'} clarifies that it is behind you or you are heading
away from it, but it is optional, if that's what you wish to explain.
I think we actually agree on this one, and I apologize for not being
clear about what I meant.
I also definitely erred earlier with the erroneous word {yIghoSbe'}.
Of course, you never use {yI-} and {-be'} on the same word. HIvqa'
veqlargh!
None of that should be too distracting to my original point. {HewIjvo'
yIghoS!} seems somewhat surreal, in the "What is the sound of one hand
clapping?" sense. I am commanded to follow the path that is not a
path. Very Zen. Perhaps it's better to go with {HewIj 'oHbe'bogh
yIghoS!} Likely better {HIbotHa', qoH!} or {HIjun, toDSaH!} followed
by {taQbanglIj vItlhuHpu'. DaH taQbangwIj yItlhuH!} once you get past
him.
