A review of {Doch} "thing" (n) in canon:
chay' Dochvam vIlo'
What do I do with this? (How do I use this?) TKD
nuqDaq Dochvam vIlan
What do I do with this? (Where do I put this?) TKD
Dochvetlh DIlmeH Huch 'ar DaneH
How much do you want for that? TKD
Dochvetlh vISoplaHbe'
I can't eat that. TKD
Dochvam nuq
What is this? CK
Dochvetlh yItlhap
[Take that! (untranslated)] PK
juHwIjDaq Dochvetlh vItlhap
I will take *that* to my home. PK
naDev Dochvetlh qem
Bring that here! PK
naDev Dochvetlh qemqu'
I really mean it this time! Bring that here! PK
tajwIj 'oHbe' chorlIj jeqbogh Dochvetlh'e'
That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection. FTG
'ej DochmeywIj vItlhapqa'meH

We do have examples of this pattern:
tlhIngan wo' Degh 'oH Deghvam'e'
This marking represents the Klingon Empire. SP1
loD Do' ghaH loDvam'e' 'ach bID loD ghaH
This man is a lucky man, but he is a half man (Sonnet 116)
pa' cha'maH wej 'oH pa'lIj'e'
Your room is number 23. CK
ghe''orDaq luSpet 'oH DaqlIj'e'
You belong in a black hole in the Netherworld! PK
Can anyone thing of any other examples?
