Actually, the object of {ghoS} can also be the course followed itself. I
don't recall where this is made clear, but I think it was in an
interview with Okrand in HolQeD. I am away from my library right now, so
I can't cite the source specifically. The online index to HolQeD has
ghoS, "approach, go away from": and objects, 3:3/3-5;
andtransitivity, 7:4/7-9; used with -Daq, 7:4/9, 8:4/5-10; used
with-vo', 7:4/8.
I'll bet that's it.
But it was made quite clear that one can say things like:
He ghoS
He goes along the road.
I therefore see no problem in specifying the actual kellicams traveled
as the object of {ghoS}; they are the route followed.
