Not focussing on Klingon, but in German they use the same word for "puton clothes" and "dress yourself": "anziehen".

Same for the other way around: "ausziehen".

I can my "Schuhe anziehen" (put on my shoes) and I can my "Kindanziehen" (dress my child).

This makes translating to Klingon from German even a little morecomplicated. You might find people say {puqwI' vItuQmoH} :-)


Lieven.
