{'uchchoH} "take hold of, grab hold, seize" fits your explanation
better. {'uchchoH}, hasn't been glossed by Okrand, but he used it once:
wa' jaj 'etlh 'uchchoHlaH tlhIngan puqloD; jajvetlh loD nen moj
The son of a Klingon is a man the day he can first hold a blade. TKW
See the difference with {'uch} "hold, grasp" (KGT):
mupwI' yI'uchtaH
Keep holding the hammer! TKW
{woH} "pick up" has been used twice for picking something up off the ground:
yIwoH!
[Pick him up! (untranslated)] ST6
teplIj yIwoH 'ej pa'lIjDaq yIjaH!
Pick up your baggage and go to your room. CK
