verbs are already destinations, so there's no need to include /-Daq/ (though
you can add it if you don't mind being redundant). >

Usually when you explain something, I completely understand you and greatly 
appreciate the info. However; this time you leave me puzzled. You mentioned 
<jaH> ok. In the sentence <pa'lIjDaq yIjaH! > Daq is used. (something I have said 
to my daughter more than once here lately.) lol  Are you saying that it is 
redundant to use it here or am I completely off-mark again?
