So you don't think a locative rojDaq is appropriate? Also, what
about Dachoq instead of DaleHchu'?
yIrojpu'

The King James Bible may say "preserve him in peace" (or
something like it; with this stupid mail system, cc:mail, I can't
look at any other messages or files while creating a message!),
but that "in" is a spatial metaphor for a state of being, which
is by no means universal. Don't you think "preserve his peace"
is accurate and straightforward? I don't recall any canonical
examples of the locative being used in this way, and even though
it's hard, I try to find alternatives to it whenever possible.
As for choq, I'll agree with you about that. So:
DuqImtaHbogh nuv roj Dachoq Duvoqmo'
By the way, in your signoff, did you mean "yIrojpu'" [which you
wrote] or "yIrojqu'"?
