I'm not sure either. Although it has probably been discussed in this forum
before, I don't remember what options were suggested. Here are some relevant
items from canon:

Hop  "be remote, far"
   logh Hop  "deep space" (Skybox DS99)
Sum  "be near" (CK)
   Sum Daqmeyvam tera'ngan 
   These places are nearby, Terran. (CK)
chuq  "range, distance" 
   noH HIvchuq chorghSaD qelI'qam 
     Estimating attack range in 8,000 kellicams. (ST5)
   SuvwI' vI' Dub naQvam 'ej ray' HopDaq bachlu'meH chuqna' ghurmoH naQvam 
     This serves to steady the aim of a warrior and increase the effective
range for 
     distance targeting. (Skybox S14)
lurgh  "direction (spatial)"

Off the top of my head, one clumsy way would be to say something like: 
   naDevvo' Hop Daqvam.  200 qelI'qam 'oH chuq'e'.
   naDevvo' Sum Daqvam.  200 qelI'qam neH 'oH chuq'e'.

Any other ideas?
