How are {tuQmoH} and {tuQHa'moH} used?
They are glossed as "put on (clothes)" and "undress".
I used to think they meant "dress (someone else)" and "undress (someone 
else)", but now I don't know.

qorDu'Daj tuq 'oS Ha'quje'e' [sic: Ha'quj'e'] tuQbogh wo'rIv.   
The sash that Worf^TM^ wears is a symbol of his family's house. [card S20]

tuQtaHvIS Hem.  
He wears it proudly ... [lit.: While he wears it, he is proud.] [card S20]

{tuQ} alone is a transitive verb, and adding {-moH} makes me wonder who 
causes whom to wear what.
