I will prepare each of the slain for entombment with my own hands. (DSC/Qov "Battle At the Binary Stars") When asked about {bav}, Okrand says "You don't need a {-Daq}. Just use whatever it is that you are orbiting. When subsequently asked about {'el}, Okrand says "Same thing." Note that Okrand says you can say {pa'Daq vI'el}. (IMO, HQ 7.4 [Dec. 1998]) "There are a few verbs whose meanings include locative notions, such as {ghoS} "approach, proceed". The locative suffix need not be used on nouns which are the objects of such verbs... If the locative suffix is used with such verbs, the resulting sentence is somewhat redundant, but not out-and-out wrong." (TKD 28) "Thus, if the occupant of a room heard a door chime, there would probably be no misunderstanding as a result of his or her saying {yI'Il!} (Be sincere!) rather than the correct {yI'el!} (Enter!). In the situation at hand, only "Enter!" makes any sense." (KGT 189) When Worf buzzed his door, Kurn replied from within: “Come in! {'el!}” (CpK?
