(qurgh < MO, qep'a' 2017):  ... normally used with a point of reference: beyond X. When asked about "area nearby" Maltz wasn't sure what was being asked and said to make use of the verb Sum "be nearby".

Okrand has earlier used Daq HopHa' for "area/place nearby":

  Not far away, Kotar and his *Qempa'keh*, are in search for their souls. PB

Notes

a controlled roll, whereas ron applied to a person would mean they were rolling haphazardly

[De'vID]> Can ron be used for people, such as in martial arts or gymnastics?

Yes, IF it means that the person is rolling haphazardly.

If the person is doing a somersault (rolling forwards or backwards in a reasonably controlled manner), the verb is Hay.

If the person is rolling down a hill as if he/she were a log, the verb is tetlh (related to the noun meaning "scroll," though it's not used for scrolls, unless a scroll is rolling down a hill).
