We have a clear example of such usage in Skybox Trading Card S20
{Ha'quj} "Klingon Sash":

qorDu'Daj tuq 'oS Ha'quje'e' tuQbogh wo'rIv. tuQtaHvIS Hem. ghaHvaD
quHDaj qawmoH.
"The sash that WorfT wears is a symbol of his family's house. He wears
it proudly as a reminder of his heritage."

The grammar evident here hints at the intended usage of the otherwise
problematic set of words {tuQ} "wear", {tuQmoH} "put on (clothes)",
and {tuQHa'moH} "undress" from TKD.
