Ah, and TKD doesn't say quite what I remembered it saying:

{-vo'} <from>

This suffix is similar to {-Daq} but is used only when action is
in a direction away from the noun suffixed with {-vo'.}

I mistook "action" for motion, since that's usually the kind of action involved. The action must still take place along a path through physical space, though, correct? You couldn't say *{vavnI'wI'vo' Du'vam vIHevpu'} for instance, could you?

Second, according to TKD and all (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) canon examples, {-vo'} is only used when there is actual motion...

Conversational Klingon has a contradictory example: {pa'vo' pagh leghlu'} "The room has no view."
