tuQ "wear (clothes)" in canon:
mIv DaS je tuQ ra'wI'
The commander is wearing a helmet and a boot. KGT
qorDu'Daj tuq 'oS Ha'quj'e' tuQbogh wo'rIv
The sash that Worf wears is a symbol of his family's house. S20
tuQtaHvIS Hem. ghaHvaD quHDaj qawmoH.
[Worf] wears it proudly as a reminder of his heritage. S20
There are no examples of {tuQmoH} "dress (i.e. put on [clothes]), but we do have {tuQHa'moH} "undress, take off (clothes)":
qogh vItuQmoHHa'pu'
I've taken off my belt (HQ 2.4)
["{qogh} "ear", of course is homophonous with {qogh}, "belt"... This homophony explains why the Klingon slang expression {qogh tuQmoHHa'}, literally "take off one's belt" is used to mean to not hear, for example, {qogh vItuQmoHHa'pu'} "I've taken off my belt; your secret is safe with me." (HQ 2.4) Note that the suffixes in this expression appear in the "wrong" order; one would expect ?{vItuQHa'moHpu'}.]
Any examples of {tuQ} in the pag'batlh?
