*vengDaq taw vIghoS* would be however (without further context)
ambiguous, right? It could mean: *I go along the road toward the
city* or *I go along the road in the city*.

<p>This is not ambiguous in Klingon. <b>-Daq</b> simply has a
larger scope of meaning than the various English prepositions that
it corresponds to. This is true of any use of the locative. <b>yuQDaq
jIHtaH.</b> This could mean I am <i>on</i> the planet, and this
is the translation one would commonly expect, but it could also
mean I am <i>in</i> the planet or <i>by</i> the planet. In fact,
it means all of those at once; it means <i>I am locative-planet.</i><br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">4. How can I distinguish between *I go along the road* and *I approach toward the road*? Following SuStel's explanation, and supposing I've understood it right, I would say *taw vIghoS* could only mean *I go along the road*, *tawDaq vIghoS* would have two meanings: *I go along the road* with a redundant *-Daq* or *I go along (something) toward the road* with an elided pronoun. But with De'vID's explanation I'm not sure any more.</pre>

<p>Using <b>ghoS?</b> It will always be ambiguous without further
context. <b>taw vIghoS</b> can mean <i>I go along the road, </i>but
it could also mean <i>I go to the road,</i> where the road is
simply the name of the destination, outlining your course to the
road. It's not about whether or not you use <b>-Daq.</b> Instead
of the course being the road's length, the course is that course
which leads to the road.<br>
