I would NOT prefer veQ pa'.  viz QongDaq = bed, that is canon, from
Conversational Klingon tape.  Further examples outside of proven/canon
instances include:  {'ovDaq} = arena; {tlhongDaq} = store.

{pa'} means "a place over there" while {Daq} means "a place in general".
 Still, if I were trying to translate "I don't know where you are," I would
say {SoHtaHbogh pa' vISovbe'}.

If I say {'uQpa'} for dining place, I am actually using the {pa'} which means
"room."  If I say "work place," I use {yaH}.
