you asking about {naDev}, it’s a noun in Klingon not an
adverbial, and thus can be the object of a verb. If you’re
asking whether {‘el} takes an object, it does; e.g.:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>He's asking whether <b>'el</b> is a verb with an inherent
locative sense. The answer is no, it is not. The object of <b>'el</b>
does not have to be a locative. The fact that <b>naDev</b> is
automatically locative doesn't change the lack of locative
requirements of <b>'el.</b></p>
<p><b>tugh naDev wI'el<br>
</b><i>Soon we will enter here.</i></p>
<p>It's awkward in English to say <i>enter here;</i> I wonder if <b>naDev</b>
being inherently locative makes this just as awkward in Klingon.
You might prefer sentences like <b>tugh pa'vam wI'el</b> or <b>tugh
Daqvam wI'el.</b><br>
