>> I have to confess, I don't know what to make of {tuQmoH}. It doesn't
seem to fit the syntactic rule, but it doesn't fit the proposed semantic
rule either (in so far as that rule is subjective). I think it's a victim
of semantic drift, like {lo'laH}.
'e' vIHar je. {lo'laH} rurlaw'. choHlu'.

QochlaH pagh.
> {HIp vItuQmoH} - I dress (someone) in a uniform.
> {HIp vItuQeghmoH} - I dress myself in a uniform.
'ach tay'DI' {vI-}, {'egh} je, tlhIngan Hol pab wemlu'be''a'?
> {HIqraj qatuQmoH} - You dress me in your uniform. (Prefix trick.)
mu'tlheghvam DaqontaHvIS bIchechlaw'! {{:-p
{HIq} tuQlu'be', tlhutlhlu' neH. 'ej Qoch {-raj}, {qa-} je.
{HIqlIj chotlhutlhmoH} - You make me drink your alcohol.
> {HIqwIj vItuQHa'moH} - I undress (from) my uniform.
chaq latlhvaD HIplIj DatuQHa'moH.
> {puqloDwI'vaD DuSaQ HIqDaj vItuQHa'moH} - I undress my son from his
school uniform.
puqloDlI' DuSaQDaq HIq jablu''a'? Do'qu'.
> {HIqvam mutuQmoH 'IpwI'} - My oath causes me to wear this uniform. <==
Note the difference, here!
{HIpvam mutuQmoH be'nalwI'}
{HIpvam mutuQmoH 'IpwIj}
pIm'a' pabchaj?
