I believe you have used {-vo'} correctly. The sense of motion need not
be literal. We have an example sentence, {pa'vo' pagh leghlu'} "the room
has no view" (literally, "from the room, one sees nothing) from
Conversational Klingon, which does the same thing.
However, you used the wrong verb prefix. {mu-} means "he/she/it/they do
something to me." You want {jI-} "I do something (not to anything in
particular)."
