In this case {pa'} is an adverbial, not a noun and cannot take 
{-'e'} unless you want to say "the room" instead of "there". You 
also can't use {neH} as an adverbial to modify {pa'} as an 
adverbial.

It is odd that he chose to make {pa'} an adverbial, but {naDev} 
a noun, but hey, I didn't write this language...
