Sorry Qov, ghojmoH is only attested twice that I know of:
batlh qaghojmoHpu' It has been an honor to instruct you. CK
batlh qaghojmoH It has been an honor to instruct you. PK
Trying to avoid the quagmire of -moH, the answer to what is the object of
ghojmoH *may* lie in its gloss in TKD: "teach, instruct" (p. 86). Whereas
one may "teach" both, in my dialect of English at least one "instructs" a
person, not a subject.
I suppose if you really want to focus just on the subject matter, you can
use HaD "study":
yIHaDQu' Study him well! TKD
tlhIngan Hol DaHaDrup'a'? Are you ready to study Klingon? CK
yIHaDqa' Start studying again! CK
