Never used in a sentence, but clothing is discussed in "Klingon for the
Galactic Traveller" on pp. 57 ff. For example,
A warrior's full set of armor, including weapons and clothing, is his
{may'luch}
(literally, "battle gear"). Traditional clothing worn in battle, known
as {HIp},
the word currently used to mean "uniform," had both a protective
function and a
more utilitarian one, since it was from the clothing that weapons
(nuHmey) or
ammunition (nIch) could be hung. (KGT 57)
Cf. also the noun {jech} "disguise, costume". The verbs used for clothing
are {tuQ} "wear (clothes)", {tuQmoH} "dress" and {tuQHa'moH} "undress, take
off (clothes)".
