: No.  As you said, {vegh} appears to refer to physical travel through an

Indeed. {SIQwI'} is used in the new Skybox card S32 to explicitly refer to
the "ascendee", i.e. the recipient of pain during a nentay:

   SIQwI' lu'oy'moHmeH juppu'Daj 'oy'naQmey lo' chaH 
   The Painstik is employed by friends of the recipient... S32

Two other sayings using {SIQ} "endure" may, in fact, derive from the nentay:

   'oy' DaSIQjaj 
   May you endure the pain! PK
 
   yIn DayajmeH 'oy' yISIQ. 
   To understand life, endure pain. TKW
