Hmm... We do have the adverbial {tlhoS} "almost, nearly, virtually, not quite" from KGT but I suspect it would modify the verb, not the noun {Dat}: i.e. *?{tlhoS Dat} "nearly everywhere". How {tlhoS} differs from {loQ} "slightly, a little bit, briefly, short" in practice is unknown as I know of no examples of the former. Anything in the paq'batlh?
