Erm, I cannot see any way of interpreting these except as
jInguvmoH
I cause (something) to be tinted.
vInguvmoHlu'
Someone causes me to be tinted.
These are definitely not the same thing, and I cannot see how to interpret
them to be the same thing.

jIghojmoH
I cause (someone) to learn.
vIghojmoHlu'
Someone causes me to learn.
>> {jIchoHmoH} -- "I edit."
>
>vIchoHmoHlu'.
Someone causes me to change.
(Whether {choH} is transitive, intransitive, or either is now quite up in
the air.)
