Qes lagh:

Thanks.  The responses taken together help define for me the concept 
discussed in
DloraH's post.  That usage of -Daq isn't in the dictionary, so was new to 
me.  Before
seeing the excerpt of that HolQeD discussion, I would have rendered the 
concept of
{DujDaq jIjaH} as something like {jIjaH. jIjaHtaHvIS Duj vIlo'} or some such.

I (now) take the {lojmIt} examples as a case were the concept doesn't apply.

However, I currently believe the following /would/ be included as example 
of  -Daq/verb of motion usage as discussed in the HolQeD excerpt:

chobDaq jIjaH.
'ochDaq jIjaH.
chobDaq pa' vIjaH.
'ochDaq veng vIjaH.

I think that {'ochDaq veng vI'el} would be within the bounds of the usage, 
but I'm
less certain about {chobDaq pa' vI'el}.

All corrections accepted. :-)
