Well, we don't even know if someone can "enter" a valley in Klingon. {'el}
can be used for entering, say, a building, a room, or some region.

But Captain, that course will take us into the Barrier as well. (ST5)
A valley? Good question. I wouldn't have a problem with it if I saw it.
{'el} seems pretty general-purpose.

Your use of {vegh} is fine, though I'm wondering about your intentions with
that aspect marker and accompanying time marker.

maj.
You seem to have the meaning down.
