Okrand drew a distinction between the object of {ghoS} and the location of the {ghoS}-ing. {-Daq} doesn’t change the meaning, the presence of an object to {ghoS} does — same as {jaH}.

Per HQ 7.4: {bIQtIq vIghoS} and {bIQtIqDaq vIghoS} are the same — the {-Daq} is optional. However {bIQtIqDaq jIghoS} has a different meaning and the {-Daq} isn’t optional.

IIRC, {bIQtIq(-Daq) vIghoS} would be something like “I follow the river”, whereas {bIQtIqDaq jIghoS} is “I come to the river”. I’m still fuzzy on the interpretation of the distinction, but I do remember there being a distinction.
