DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'. I had misremembered {tuQ} as *"be
clothed". It is, as you have pointed out, "wear (clothes)". Your
suggestion is good.

Or maybe I can say {yInuD'eghmoH!} :-)

SuStel:

I had used {-choH} because I meant to indicate a change of state from
being clothed to being nude.
