<p>You could interpret it that way. I don't think the lack of a <b>je</b>
makes the difference. It could also be interpreted as two separate
locatives that both apply simultaneously, one being of a different
scope than another.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>In a cavern, in a canyon<br>
Excavating for a mine<br>
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner<br>
And his daughter, Clementine.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In the verse, the locatives <i>in a cavern</i> and <i>in a canyon</i>
are not in apposition to each other. The cavern is within the
canyon. The subjects of the sentence both have appositional pairs:
<i>a miner</i> = <i>forty-niner</i> and <i>his daughter</i> = <i>Clementine.</i></p>
<p>In your Klingon sentence, it's possible that <b>SoSlI' juH</b>
is within the scope of <b>Qo'noS.</b></p>
<p>If the sentence did have a <b>je,</b> the meaning would be
different:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Qo'noSDaq SoSlI' juHDaq je qajatlh<br>
</b><i>I speak to you on Kronos and in your mother's home</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here it's possible that you speak to me in both of those places,
but not in a single utterance. One day you speak to me on Kronos;
another day you speak to me in my mother's house.<br>
