I am of the opinion, informed by no canon whatsoever, that the rule is that pronouns of being in a place require an aspect, but not necessarily a type 7 suffix.
Unfortunately, that opinion is contradicted by canon. Again, from the UKE appendix:
"Where is a good restaurant?" {nuqDaq 'oH Qe' QaQ'e'}
"Where is the bathroom?" {nuqDaq 'oH puchpa''e'}
Any examples where we're not asking questions?
Here's a sort-of example: *ghe''orDaq luSpet 'oH DaqlIj'e'.* But it's not of the same form as the others, so it's not a good data point.
One thing that is in common between those examples is that the thing in question doesn't move, it's a fixed location. People move around, so you might want to emphasize if someone is in a location for a while (i.e., using the* -taH*), whereas the restaurant or bathroom probably isn't going anywhere. Are there more examples where the thing that is in a place is a fixed feature rather than a person or ship or the like?
