I believe that your "beginner's sense" is missing something. The word
{lurgh} just means "direction", and does not necessarily imply "to" or
"toward". For the spatial meanings of "to" or "toward", {-Daq} has the
right meaning. >>
==================
While TKD 3.3.5 Syntactic markers clearly explains that ghunchu'wI' is
correct that
{-Daq} is the correct type 5 for "to, at, in, on," and the original author is
correct that two nouns may form a noun-noun compound (recently elsewhere
referred to as genitive, per sé for this topic) with noun 1 possessing noun
2, producing {Hovmey lurgh} for "stars' direction," we can add both concepts
together now to give {Hovmey lurghDaq} "to the stars' direction." Does this
not mean "toward the stars"?
