from MO interview in last HolQeD:
***
MO: ...[Duj vIpaw] means "I arrive at the ship"; [DujDaq jIpaw] means "I
arrive on the ship", that is, I arrive via the ship or something like that.
And it would probably be okay to say [DujDaq vIpaw] for "I arrive at the
ship". But [Duj jIpaw] strikes me as odd.
***
So, sure, either the -Daq should be removed and/or add lu- on [paw]
