I am not sure I would have phrased this quite this was. As I read
it, the -Daq is a locative suffix. This would place the "DIp" in the "wot",
which is not what I think you meant. The problem is that in DIvI' Hol the
word "into" has both a locative and a stative sense. Here the DIvI' Hol
stative sense is used, as in the "DIp" changed into the state of being a
"wot".
To express the stative sense, I would have probably used a form of
"moj". The sentence then becomes:
wot moj DIp net choHlaHbe'qu'law'
Of course, these are just my senseless ramblings and should not be taken
too seriously.
