Hey!  If the odd {-Ha'} isn't an error, that's a good indication that
{tuQmoH} is a 'root' verb with some similarity to {lo'laH}.

{lo'} "use"
{lo'laH} "be valuable" -- or "can _be_ used"

{tuQ} "wear"
{tuQmoH} "put on" -- or "cause to _be_ worn"

Now that I've been reminded of the {qogh vItuQmoHHa'pu'} idiom, I'm going
to stop trying to use {tuQmoH} as support for my pet theory about how
{-moH} works in general (with both transitive and intransitive verbs), and
I'm going to treat {tuQmoH} as a wart.
