KLBC: retlh pa'Daq

'e' chup [David Barron].   jIH neH ghommaj ghuv'e', 'ach jIQochHa'qu'.
tlhIngan Hol vIghojmeH tlhIngan Holvo' jImughnIS 'e' vIQub.

jabbI'IDvam vIghaq.  lugh pabDaj 'e' vItul.  lughHa'chugh 'oH, vaj

And now the neophyte question: if I want to say, e. g. "in the adjacent
room" is "retlh pa'Daq" ("in-the-room of the-area-next-to") considered
correct? Or maybe "naDev retlh pa'Daq" ("in-the-room of the-area-next-
to here")? Other examples:

Sor Dung => above the tree
Dung Sor => the tree [which is] above [here] (?)
veng retlh => next to the city
retlh veng => the neighboring city (?)

Satlho'.
