Well, chambers, yes, but halls might be equated with tunnels. I
might use {vegh} with hall... though having other doors in the
hall might make it inappropriate.
Hmmm. Good example. If I were entering one end of a hall going
to the other end, ignoring the doors at the sides, I might make
a slightly poetic use of {vegh}, but otherwise, I'm starting to
agree with you. I think it is likely the wrong verb for halls
OR chambers.
