Yes. For these, when not speaking of a physical location,
{-vaD} is more appropriate. In English, I think this is similar
to the difference between "Give the ball to me," and "Give the
ball at me." You might logically conclude that the latter is
successfully expressive of the concept you wanted done, but
that is simply not how it is said in this language.
