<font face="Calibri">Things can get more complicated when –moH
is used on a verb that could already take an object. This is
an area where we don't have all the answers. For example</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">, the word <</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">ghojmoH</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">></font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> is formed from</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri"><</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">ghoj</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">></font></span><span
lang="en-ca"></span><span lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">“</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">learn</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">”</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> plus –moH, and means</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">“</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">cause to learn</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">”</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">, normally translated as</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">“</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">teach, instruct.</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">”</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> It even has its own listing
in TKD as such. But what is the object of ghojmoH? </font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">Is it the
student? That would seem to make sense. <br>
ghoj puq. – The child learns.<br>
?puq ghojmoH SoS. – The mother causes the child to
learn./The mother teaches the child.<br>
We have evidence that this is the correct form, as in Power
Klingon</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span><span
lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri">we hear the form</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"> <font face="Calibri"><</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">qaghojmoH</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">></font></span><span
lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri"> I instruct you.<br>
<br>
Confusingly, we also have text written by Marc Okrand on a
licenced trading card, which suggests that the object
doesn't necessarily change when –moH is added to a verb.
The object of ghojmoH may be the same as the object of ghoj:
the thing learned.<br>
<br>
pab ghoj puq. – The child learns grammar.<br>
?pab ghojmoH SoS. – The mother teaches grammar.</font></span><span
lang="en-ca"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-ca"><font face="Calibri">Maybe it can
be either. We have other tools for indicating the second
object of the verb, but they, and a full discussion of this
question, are beyond the scope of this course. The purpose
of this digression is to explain why this course doesn't
include instructions on using such objects, and to give you
some insight into how we know things about the Klingon
language.</font></span><span lang="en-ca"></span></p>
