I believe tuQ refers to having clothes on rather than putting clothes on. HIpwIj vItuQ can be used to describe me already in my uniform, not the act of me putting my uniform on. If I say HIpwIj vItuQchoH (notice that's -choH, not -moH), it means I go from a state of not having my uniform on to a state of having my uniform on, but it still doesn't say anything about who caused this state to be So, if I understand correctly:
HIp vItuQbe' I don't wear the uniform
HIp vItuQbe'choH I begin not to wear the uniform
HIp vItuQHa' I have stopped wearing the uniform which I was wearing until I vItuQHa'-it or I mis-wear the uniform i.e. I wear it the wrong way
Would you agree with the above ?
Yes, but it's important to recognize that /wear/ means /have clothes on,/ not /put clothes on./ (It can mean either in English.) *HIp vItuQbe'* means I don't have the uniform on, not that I don't put the uniform on. *HIp vItuQbe'choH* means the uniform ceases to be on me, not that I took it off — though it may be true that I took it off, that's not what the sentence says. *HIp vItuQHa'* will probably be interpreted as wearing the uniform in a wrong manner ("You're out of uniform!"). I don't think it means you have stopped wearing the uniform. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
