Actually we have a canon phrase that states the opposite:
{pa'Daq yIjaH!} means "Go to the room!", TKD, p. 27
I guess, this sentence is ambiguous and can *also* mean "Go inside the
room!", but it's probably context-sensitive.

Then again, we have another sentence:
{bIghHa' yIjaH!}, meaning "Go to jail!", from the Monopoly game.

So it seems {jaH} may or may not use the {-Daq} suffix, perhaps it's added
for clarification.
