Interestingly, this example seems to contradict Okrand's statements in HQ
7:4. For "Can we get to the Great Hall from here?", one would expect
{naDevvo' vaS'a'Daq wIjaHlaH'a'}. As written, the sentence seems to mean
"Can we go from here in the Great Hall?".

The translation "into" here also appears to contradict Okrand, but is
certainly able to be interpreted with {loghDaq} as an ordinary locative
header rather than as a {-Daq}-marked "direct" object: "while they expand
*in* space" (i.e. while they expand the space holdings which they had
already) rather than "while they expand *into* space" (i.e. from the surface
of their world to space for the first time).
