[tlhIngan Hol] More on {-moH} and tritransitive verbs

"from my grandfather I have received this farm": it is "from" in the sense that it ceased to be his property, likely due to death and inheritance.
P.S. Is there a word for "inherit"? Once I expressed *I inherited it" by Heghmo' vIHevpu' = "I have received it due to death", or similar.

Ah, and TKD doesn't say quite what I remembered it saying:
{-vo'} <from>
  This suffix is similar to {-Daq} but is used only when action is
in a direction away from the noun suffixed with {-vo'.}
I mistook "action" for motion, since that's usually the kind of action involved. The action must still take place along a path through physical space, though, correct? You couldn't say *{vavnI'wI'vo' Du'vam vIHevpu'} for instance, could you?
