So that he could not see, Vajar put a bag on (over?) the prisoner's head.
A bag is just what I was thinking of. I had forgotten that buq had that meaning. 


or with the new verb:

nach velmeH buq lo' vajar.
Vajar used a bag to cover the prisoner's head.
I get more of a coating or closely fitted covering sense from vel. I'm not happy using it to "cover up" loosely. I don't think your're wrong. I'm just not happy with it.
