batlhtaHDI', mughojmoHtaH batlhtaH
Okay, I'm one up on you, because I know this is wrong.  And this has been
buggin' me all day.  This is the phrase I'm trying to translate:
"He who honors teaches me to honor."
Hmm.  Word order's wrong for one thing, isn't it.  
batlhtaHDI' = when he honors
mughojmoHtaH = he teaches me
batlhtaH = honoring (?)
I flim-flammed between -DI' and -viS, though neither seemed quite right.  -DI'
is more of a "as soon as" according to TKD and that's not the right aspect.
-vIS, of course, is "while" which seemed a little closer perhaps, but still not
it.  
Maybe I just need to rewrite the English version.  I dunno.  Stumped (though
that's nothing unusual when it comes to this darned language).
So, ~mark, give me a hint here.  I don't want the answer necessarily, just a
clue as to the direction I need to go.
