In all these examples you have /DajaH/.  The prefix Da- makes this a
statement, not a command.  To turn it into a command you want the prefix
yI-.

The noun-noun cluster /lojmIt 'em juH/ is "The house of the area behind the
door."

> lojmIt’em DajaH

We can't stick words together like this.

/lojmIt 'em yIjaH/ is "Go to the area behind the door".
/'em lojmIt yIjaH/ is "Go to the door of the area behind."
/juH 'em lojmIt yIjaH/ "Go to the door of the area behind the house."

We also have the word 'o' - aft.

'o' lojmIt yIjaH  "Go to the aft door."
