For a simple way to say "he who honors", look at the end of TKD 4.2.9,
the verb suffix {-wI'}. Notice that {batlh} is not a verb; try {quvmoH}
instead.
To say "he teaches me to do something" I would rephrase it as "he teaches
me in order that I do something" or "...in order that I can do something."
See TKD 6.2.4, the verb suffix {-meH}.
The most important thing to remember about word order is that the subject
of the sentence comes last, immediately after the verb. The object comes
immediately before the verb; everything else precedes the object.
