ghojmoH...

Consider the following examples:
chen Duj (The ship takes form)
Duj chenmoH (He/She causes the ship to take form)
poS lojmIt (The door is open)
lojmIt poSmoH (He/She causes the door to be open)
That would make:
ghoj SuvwI' (The warrior learns)
SuvwI' ghojmoH (He/She causes the warrior to learn)
To me it seems, that the direct object of a -moH verb is the thing which
is caused to perform the action...
Now, if you take "tlhIngan Hol ghojmoH" that is _not_ "He/She causes the
klingon language to be learned", but it is "He/She causes the klingon language
to learn", what surely is not what one wants.
I would suggest something like (If I really wants it in one sentence):
tlhIngan Hol ghoj Matlh 'e' vIruchmoH.
I cause it to proceed that Malz learns the klingon language.
But what Su'Stel said surely works nice... I have often read
split sentences which would always be conjuncted in english.
Another Topic: I got a pronounciation question:
If I want to say "ta'vaD jISuv" what do I do between the D of -vaD and the j?
A short pause in order to pronounce a j or would I speak a j with my tounge
still at the top of my mouth?
Success
