Could we use the {Daq}/{Sep} or maybe even {SepHom} for the word "locations" of the above example?
Sure. *bIQ'a'Daq Sepmey tlhIn tu'lu'. ***pIj *SepvamDaq nargh bIQ'a' tlhapraghmey 'e' luHar pa'logh nuv.* I'd use *Daq* if the location is fairly small, like "in that harbor," and *Sep* if the region is fairly large, like "in the North Sea." I wouldn't use *SepHom* unless it was completely obvious what the *-Hom* was doing.
Perhaps one "solution" would be to use {Quv} "coordinates", but I'd expect that word to be used in military contexts, klingon space crap, aviation, specialized texts, etc.
And yet we are told that showing an allegiance to military jargon increases one's social standing in everyday life /(Power Klingon)./ And we have the saying *QuvlIjDaq yIH tu'be'lu'jaj.* So I wouldn't discount using *Quv* for this. However, you should be prepared to answer the question, "What are the coordinates?", using coordinates. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
