[tlhIngan Hol] verb {tlhap} "take" for beings

[Steven Boozer]

Although {tlhap} "take, collect, gain" can refer to people:

   yItlhapQo' 
   [Leave him! ("Don't take him!") (untranslated)] (ENT "Affliction")

   vItlhapnISpu' 
   I needed to take her. TKD

... I would use {qem} "bring" which refers to both things and people:

   nom QaH yIqem 
   Get help quickly! (CK) [implying people]

   reH pu' vIqem 
   I always bring a phaser. (KGT)

   reH puq vIqem 
   I always bring a child. (KGT)

   SoHvaD quvwI’ qem Hegh 'e' wIvDI’ Hegh pop Hevchugh quvwI’ 
   The honorable will be rewarded after death chooses to bring
     them to you (PB)

Even simpler is:

Qang qopmeH vaS'a'Daq lujaHpu' HoD wej mang je.
The captain and three soldiers went to the Great Hall
  to arrest the chancellor.

This sounds strange to me, because it suggests the grabbing of a person.
For this situation, I would use {tlhejmoH} or smiliar.
