The suffix probably should indeed have been -Daq. I think I was
thinking of "what I wrote for/as the tagline", but -vaD doesn't work
too well there.
'o'mu'tlhegh is my own coinage [= 'aft' + 'sentence'; mu'tlhegh in
TKD, from 'word' + 'line, rope']. I couldn't find "front, in front"
or "behind" in TKD, but I did find "fore" and "aft", which are
shipboard terms, so I figured that these were the words I was looking
for, or as close as I could hope to find. Thus the six directions,
ITO [= in terms of] the "regions" around a person or thing, are
left poS front/fore 'et above Dung
right nIH back/aft 'o' below bIng
