<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Although I don't believe it's ever been made explicit in canon, I don't believe that *nuqDaqvo'* is correct; it should be {nuqvo'}.<br>
<br>
Consider that in TKD, it is mentioned that:</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">"The word for <em>where?,</em>
<strong>nuqDaq</strong>, is actually <strong>nuq</strong> <em>what?</em> followed by the suffix -<strong>Daq</strong>
<em>locative</em> (see section 3.3.5)."</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">It isn't unimaginable that <strong>
nuqDaq</strong> would become fossilized as its own noun stem and thus be able to take Type-5 suffixes, but I'd argue that
<strong>nuqvo'</strong> is both safer (because, idiomatic or not, it is certainly grammatical) and more in line with the description.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">--------------</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I think just <strong>nuqvo'</strong> <strong>nav vaH DangeHpu'</strong><strong>?</strong> would do the trick for this specific question (although I would ask if it's really the
<strong><em>nav vaH</em></strong> that you're interested in<strong></strong>; although we may talk about "sending an envelope" in English, we're normally much more interested in the
<em>contents</em> of the envelope).</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">If you then wish to bring that point of origin into another sentence, you could perhaps use the word
<strong>mung</strong> ("origin"):</p>
