other thing I noticed:
>>Re: naDev jIH...

Marc Okrand has *nearly*  always [I'm not sure] used {-taH} on pronouns when they mean "to be at (a 
location)".
Maybe this can be seen as an unwritten rule:
  "I'm in the room." {pa'Daq jIHtaH.}
  "The commander is in his quarters." {pa'DajDaq ghaHtaH la''e'.}
  "I'm lost." {jIHtaHbogh naDev vISovbe'.}
  "Here they are." {naDev bIHtaH.}
(TKD)

So I would say {naDev jIHtaH} "I am (continuously) here"
