But you were uncomfortable with using {tuQmoH} to mean "cause (someone) to wear," right? That would not have conformed with the idiomatic meaning of "put on," which didn't need {-'egh} to indicate dressing oneself. But there was no certainty that {tuQmoH} always follows this idiom, so I'm glad for the clarification.
I'm also glad to be reminded of {qogh tuQmoHHa'}, since I either forgot about the unorthodox grammar in this idiom or missed it entirely.
