I like that. It works well.

Actually, with the architectural vocab Quvar gave us from Marc on the 9th
of this month we received just such a verb: {vel}. We only have it in the
context of carpet-laying (a carpet or rug is said to {vel} the floor, so
I guess a person {velmoH}s the rug), but from the expanded gloss of "cover,
coat, mask" it seems to have fairly broad meaning. So how about:
leghlaHbe'meH qama', mInDu'Daj velmoH vajar
In order that the prisoner was unable to see, Vajar covered his eyes
