In English, you can teach a person AND/OR teach a subject. However,
{ghojmoH} is not the same as "teach." {ghojmoH} means "teach (a person)."
That's not how it's defined for us, but that's what the construction
{ghoj} + {-moH} means. "Cause to learn."
It is quite clear to me that {mughojmoH Qanqor} is the correct way to say
"Krankor teaches me."
SuStel
jatlh peHruS:
I also argued that I do not think {mughojmoH Qanqor} works. But, no one
has
told me why he thinks it does work. My opinion is that: we teach a
subject,
not a person. Obviously, the prefix {mu-} indicates a person.
I would have said: {jIHvaD ghojmoH Qanqor}.
Still open to comments and opinions.
