the "to do something about a problem or difficult situation" meaning is probably what's intended.
Your explanation sounds reasonable, but we have this one canon example {DaH nuq wIDIgh?} What is our current task? / What do we undertake now? and this does not reveal any "problem or difficult situation". I understand it in a way the verb "do" sounds, so the answer to that canon example might be "DaHjaj chab wISop" - which is nor a problem no a difficult situation. If I go a step further, I really doubt the verb "undertake" can be used for people. (can it?) It sounds to me that this is only used with "actions", like eating, killing, having a party etc. Therefore, {HoD vIDIgh} sounds odd to me. OTOH, regarding {bam}, I'm with you and see no problem of using it with people. -- Lieven L.
