So {QI'lopDaq} "at QI'lop" (the place)" vs. {qaStaHvIS QI'lop} "during 
QI'lop" (the holiday)

It would have to work this way.  The target of {bach} is always marked with 
{-Daq}.

We know that the object of {bach} is what is shot out of the weapon (i.e. 
the projectile or energy beam).  {wa' yIbach} could only mean "shoot one 
(of them) [e.g. out of a cannon]" ... like in the circus!
