One possible change is making the content question pronoun q an affix, as in:

k-Loc-q. "Where are you?"

The only drawback I see is that a k or l prefix can't be resolved until the end of the word.

The complete hierarchy becomes:

s/p/n > m/k > t > l > o > u > q > x

x = reflexive pronoun
m = k + l
s = host agent coreference
p = host patient coreference

s is used for infinitives and some depictives
p is used for resultatives and other depictives

k-want-o s-see-o dog. "I want to see the dog." (as infinitive)
o-ate-o meat John s-nude. "John ate the meat nude." (depictives)
o-ate-o meat John p-raw. "John ate the meat raw."
o-hammer-o metal Mary p-flat. "Mary hammered the metal flat." (resultative)

Note: s- and -o will be 0-marked, so the infinitive example becomes:

k-want see dog.
