If you want to talk about "in a spinning room", you can probably start
out with {DIng pa'} "the room spins", put {-bogh} on the verb and {-Daq}
on the noun, and get away with it.  Okrand did just that when he wrote
{meQtaHbogh qachDaq Suv qoH neH} "only a fool fights in a burning house."

It's not so simple when you want to use the locative of one sentence as
the locative of another, as "in the room where I read the book."  This
is a variation of the infamous "ship in which I fled" problem, which we
don't know how to resolve.  See the FAQ. :)
