>>> Yes. It always means “on oneself.”

Wow! New information! tuQmoH adds the meaning of "on oneself." This could not have been predicted by the grammar alone. How nice to finally have this cleared up!

Now, after all of that, you will certainly ask: How do you say, “I put boots on Maltz”?

You use the verb {jom}. This was previously glossed only as “install” (as in “install a device,” not “install somebody into office”), but it can also mean “put on” in the sense of putting clothing on someone else. When used in this way, the object is the article of clothing; the person ending up wearing the clothes is where the clothes go (where they’re “installed,” so to speak), indicated by {-Daq}.

Ah!

I will rest easy tonight with this problem finally solved.
