Not focussing on Klingon, but in German they use the same word for "put 
on clothes" and "dress yourself": "anziehen".
Same for the other way around: "ausziehen".

I can my "Schuhe anziehen" (put on my shoes) and I can my "Kind 
anziehen" (dress my child).

This makes translating to Klingon from German even a little more 
complicated. You might find people say {puqwI' vItuQmoH} :-)

Lieven.
