Basically, verbs of motion take a direct object, making use of {-Daq} 
unnecessary, i.e., redundant.

New YorkDaq vIleng could mean "I travelled IN New York."

Considering the original message to which I responded "Travel to what (while 
in New York)?", I do not need to use {-Daq} more than once.  New York Hyde 
ParkDaq jIyIt means I walk in New York's Hyde Park.  New York possesses Hyde 
Park; Klingons do not say New YorkDaq Hyde ParkDaq to indicate that Hyde Park 
is in New York.  Just run the possessive nouns into a series.

In conclusion, I am claiming that New York lengwIj is better than New YorkDaq 
lengwIj for "my New York trip" because Klingons use the possessive noun 
series.
