If I don't say this I will explode.. Although a "battle" takes place at a physical location, the "battle event" isn't the location itself. This example contradicts the rule "{-Daq} and {-vo'} are to be used only for physical locations". Is there even a single descent argument, why I shouldn't use this example, as all the justification I would ever need, in order to use {-Daq} and {-vo'} for anything abstract, metaphorical, and immaterial I could possibly ever imagine ?

This meaning of "then" is better carried by the word {ghIq}. The "away" idea isn't reflected in the Klingon.

Far Away: I added {HopchoH} at the very end. I kind of like it. How otherwise could I get across the idea of them exiting the scene?
Ways Okrand has gotten away with the "away idea":
1. using {-vo'}:
naDevvo' yIghoS Go away! TKD

yuQvo' jIleng I roam away from the planet (HQ Dec 1998)
qeylIS ‘uchHa’ ‘ej ghaHvo’ yIt He releases Kahless and walks away. (PB)
molor qIpmeH ... 'ej ghaHvo' yIt. Kahless slaps Molor ... and walks away. (PB)
2. using verbs with "away" in their meaning:
woD throw away (v)
Soj woD He/she throws the food away. KGT
bI' sweep [away] (v)
pe'vIl bI'chu' forcefully sweep away (idiom) KGT
(KGT 112): "The verb {bI'} (sweep) refers to the action of pushing something out of the way by using an implement or the forearm as if it were a broom. If whatever is pushed is cleared away completely, one is said to {bI'chu'} (sweep [something] away; literally, "sweep perfectly").
nge' take away (v)
Ha'quj nge' take away a sash (idiom: wound one's pride) KGT
Qol beam away (v)
Qollu'ta' They were beamed aboard a Federation Starship. ST6 (lit. "They were beamed away.")
Hop be remote [from], be far [from] (v)
Daq HopHa’Daq qa’chaj nejlI’ qotar Qempa’QeH je Not far away, Kotar and his Qempa'keh, Are in search for their souls. (PB)
3. other (I'm not sure how to describe this):
qotarvaD lay'ta' 'ej batlh pab qeylIS jatlh 'e' mevDI' nuvpu' mejmoH ghaH ratlh be'nalDaj luqara' neH Kahless kept his word of honor to Kotar, After his last words, all were sent away, But his wife Lukara. (PB)
