po is not a physical location. Here it is a time stamp. It does not take
the -Daq suffix.

"It is late, and the event occured while I was sleeping."

Again, -Daq is for physical location.
-DIch is for creating ordinal numbers and follow the noun. We don't know
yet if they can modify verbs.
> DuSaQpa'Daq vIghoSchoH,
The direct object of ghoS (destination) doesn't need to have -Daq.
You should leave DuSaQ pa' as two words. As far as compound nouns, use only
what MO has given us.

To make the klingon match the english more closely, you can put je after the
verb. TKD p55 "... when it follows a verb, it means - also, too."
> Hagh maqochwI' 'ej DuSaQpa'Daq maghoS.
> My friend laughed and we went inside.
When ghoS isn't using a direct object it means that the moving is taking
place at/in the locative.
pa'Daq maghoS - you are in the room, moving around.
The english "we went inside" could be done with 'el.
pa' wI'el
