It's not exactly optional. There is a difference: *bIQtIqDaq vIghoS* is
"somewhat redundant, but not out-and-out wrong."
So your choices are to not use the *-Daq* or to use the *-Daq* and be
somewhat redundant.
And it's not really dependent on the prefix. It's just that the prefix
makes it clear whether you're talking about an object or a noun that
comes before the object-verb-subject structure. In TKD the difference is
shown without changing any prefix: *Duj ghoStaH*/It is approaching the
ship/ versus *DujDaq ghoStaH*/It is approaching toward the ship./ Using
an example without an illustrative prefix is just harder to follow.
