ehm, I also think so :-)

If it works with qep'a', it will certainly work with qepHom too.
I've used it with {QI'lop}, because I see that also as an event that takes
place at a location, since we celebrate it every year in Germany.

Back to the numbers:

we have 
      {wa' yIHoH} "kill one (of them)"

could we say 
      {wa'Daq yIbach} "shoot at one (of them)"

I see no problem.

Quvar.
