Ah. Yes, I had forgotten. Nevertheless, *{cha' qelI'qam jIleng} is not just
semantically insensible, but out-and-out ungrammatical: in that sentence,
per Okrand's interview which you cite, {cha' qelI'qam} would have no
function in the sentence when the prefix {jI-} is used.

>I roam (around/about) on the planet. (HQ [12/1998])
Hmmm... so paralleling this, what about ??{cha' qelI'qamDaq jIleng} "I
travel on two kellicams"? (I don't think {qaS} is appropriate for use with a
spatial noun.)
