[Tlhingan-hol] Expressing instrumentality

How does one express instrumentality in Klingon? That is, "through," "with," or "by means of"? Examples:

We succeeded through hard work.
We built the table with a hammer.
We prevented war by means of negotiation.

I'm wondering if it may be some kind of subordinate clause with the verb vegh? Or do I just have to settle for the causative suffix -mo?
