AFAIK never used in canon.

peHrus noted (after talking with Okrand?):

  "take an object down off a shelf or other overhead structure." 

Bill Willmerdinger (BabelCon 2, 4/07/1997):

   I had added {jotlhHa'} as "put up", but Marc [Okrand] pointed out
   that {-Ha'} not only negates but changes state (undoes), and that
   "put back up" would be a better translation.

PUN:
 "jot down"??

Similar words:

roQ 		put down (v)
chagh 	drop (v)
pum		fall (v)
teq 		remove (v)
woH 		pick up (v)
