Notes

tuQ means "wear."

DaS tuQ matlh Maltz wears boots

tuQmoH means "put on" (referring to clothes), but a better English translation would be "don" to indicate that it refers only to putting on one's own clothes (the person getting dressed is the subject). So DaS tuQmoH matlh is "Maltz dons boots" or "Maltz puts on boots" (meaning Maltz puts boot on Maltz).

Similarly tuQHa'moH, which TKD glosses as "undress," might be more revealingly translated as "doff," that is, remove one's own clothes. (The point here isn't whether "don" and "doff" are terrific translations of tuQmoH and tuQHa'moH respectively; it's just to give a better idea of what these words mean and how they're used.)

To talk about dressing someone else, use the verb jom install.
