(Please note this is not an answer, but another question.) {{>:)
Can <-Daq> be used for locating things other than in the "area above" or
"area below" and such? Would <DesDaq qIv> be possible for "knee"? Or
would that be too much of a hindsight verb? (I guess it depends on how
Klingons think of their arms, eh?) Might it even be possible that they'd
just use <qIv>, and they rely on context to determine whether they're
talking about elbows or knees?
