<< <Dab> is "dwell in/at; reside in/at". The "in/at" bit is an indication that

I will add that Klingon has specific words to indicate relative position. If
I MUST indicate that I dwell inside the cave, I would use <<DIS qoD vIDab.>>
Similarly, I might live alongside a cave <<DIS retlh vIDab.>>
While the noun suffix <<-Daq>> obviously is not necessary with the verb
<<Dab>>, I think it could be used redundantly, just as it may be used
redundantly with <<ghoS>>. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with <<DIS qoDDaq
vIDab.>> And, I did not change the verb pronominal prefix to <<jI->>.
