Perhaps this is a silly-bordering-on-stupid question, but since I genuinely don't understand I need to ask.. If I say {Qo'noSDaq vIghro' vIngeH}, then what does it mean ? That I'm somewhere (unspecified in that sentence), and from that somewhere I will send the cat to Kronos ? Or does it mean that I'm on Kronos, and while I'm being there, I'm sending the cat somewhere (unspecified by this sentence) ? Or does it mean both ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS vIghro'mey quvmoHjaj Hoch !

It could mean either. Context will tell. Since sending something is strongly associated with the destination one is sending it to, I would expect the default interpretation would be that the locative is the destination. Besides, one would be more likely to say *Qo'noSvo' vIghro' vIngeH.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

My first impression is also that Qo'noS is the destination. However I can also see it being interpreted as the sending happening with the entirety of the act of sending (origin, transit, destination) occurring on Qo'noS.
