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)
