i.e. "take an object down off a shelf or other overhead structure." 
(peHruS)  Cf. {jotlhHa'} "put back up":

   I had added {jotlhHa'} as "put up", but Marc [Okrand] pointed out that
   {-Ha'} not only negates but changes state (undoes), and that "put back
   up" would be a better translation. (Bill Willmerdinger, BabelCon 2)]

Related verbs:

{roQ} "put down"; {chagh} "drop"; {teq} "remove".  Cf. also {woH} "pick up".
