I thought {Qe'Daq Qanqor vIlegh} can only mean "I was at the restaurant,
and I saw Krankor", and not "I saw Krankor, who was in the restaurant
(i.e. I may be outside the window)". Isn't {-Daq} marking the place
where the {legh}ing is taking place, or is there some rule that says
it could be attached to {Qanqor} in the above?
I read your sentence as {[Qe' Hurvo' Qe']Daq Qanqor vIlegh} "I saw
Krankor at the 'restaurant from the outside of a restaurant'".
Could {Qe' Hurvo' Qe'} be the name of the establishment?
