In this entire discussion, this is what is my question:
<br>
can you really {'el} the {naDev}?
<br>
<br>
I think of {'el} as "going into an enclosed area". Even the sector
does not have walls around it, but it has an invisible or imagined
border. "here" does not have a set border, it's more like a spot,
wherever you point your finger at.
<br>
<br>
Perhaps that's the reason why it sounds awkward.
<br>
<br>
Unless I have missed a relevant canon example.

<p><b>naDev</b> and <i>here</i> are deitic, completely dependent on
surrounding context to have meaning. Whatever <i>here</i> or <b>naDev</b>
you're referring to has the properties of that place. If <i>here</i>
or <b>naDev</b> is a box, then it's got the properties of a box.</p>
<p>I don't know if <b>naDev vI'el</b> is awkward in Klingon, but if
it is, it's probably because of the usual redundancy of
locative-sense verbs having locative-marked objects. <b>naDev</b>
is not marked locative, but it's always locative anyway.<br>
