Re: tuQ
baQa', QoghIjwIj pubmoH mu'vam!
Gee, this topic makes my brain boil!
>tuQ
>wear (referring to clothes)
okay, transitive, object is cloth:
{mIv vItuQ} = the helmet is on my head
canon KGT 107:
{mIv je DaS tuQ ra'wI'}
"The commander wears helmet and boot"
(idiom meaning that he is in full uniform)
----
>tuQHa'
>take off (referring to clothes)
transitive, object is cloth:
{mIv vItuQHa'} = I take the helmet away from my head ?
tuQHa' sounds more like "unwear", so not wear, or being naked.
Here there is a conflict with {tuQmoH}, which is listed as "put on (clothes)". This looks like the opposite of {tuQHa'moH} "undress" (= take
off clothes).
----
>tuQHa'moH
>undress (someone)
ain't that the same as "take off clothes"? "cause to un-wear"
I think the difference is
{be' vItuQHa'moH} ? I undress the lady ?
{mIv vItuQHa'moH} ? I undress the helmet ?
{jItuQHa''eghmoH} ? I undress myself ?
----
>tuQmoH
>dress (someone) ("cause someone to wear")
TKD: "put on (clothes)"
{mIv vItuQmoH} I put on my helmet ?
{mIv vItuQmoH} I put on my helmet ?
{jItuQ'eghmoH} I dress myself (I cause myself to wear) ?

>All of these are grammatical, and work within the entries given in TKD.
It makes sense like you write it. But not 100% for me :-)
