Notes

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.

You can leave the object out if context makes things clear. Otherwise, there has to be something, even if it's just Sut.

It's grammatically correct to say jIHDaq DaS vIjom, which would mean something like "I put boots on me." I suppose there could be a context where something like this might be better (for emphasis or something) than DaS vItuQmoH.

DaS vIjom, without an overt locative expression, is odd, but it might be understood in context.

All Klingon vessels are equipped with a cloaking device, allowing the ship to fly in a state of practical invisibility. Cloaking technology was gained through an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire, possibly in exchange for Warp Drive technology. Due to the tremendous energy drain of a cloaking device, weapons cannot be discharged while the cloak is in operation.
