I first read "Controversial Klingon" ;-)
I think in that case, {-vo'} is used in combination with to {legh} to
indicate the direction of seeing: Your look starts in the room and goes
in the direction of outside.
When I'd say {pa'Daq pagh leghlu'}, it's wrong, because you surely can
see things IN the room. But FROM there to somewhere else, you do not see
anything.
I think there are many other things you can do "from" a room: yell,
shoot, throw things, send data, etc...
