How about using suffixes.

ghuH can work here, because like the canon says:
>>>
may' yIghuH
Battle Alert!
ropyaH yIghuHmoH
Alert sick bay!
tlhIngan quv DatIchDI' Seng yIghuH.
When you insult a Klingon's honor, prepare for trouble.
<<<
When you prepare for/be alert to battle, what do you do? You gather
together your equipment, suit up.
Alerting sickbay let's them get the equipment out, etc.
So you probably could ghuH for learning.
But as forewarning, if a word has multiple entries:
wej - "three"
wej - "not yet"
EACH entry is a valid definition.
If a single entry has multiple phrases defining it:
Haw' - "flee, get out"
you do not choose which definition you want to use. You can't use just the
"get out" portion for the sentence "get out the eggs from the fridge." All
the defining phrases must apply. The definition is the collective meaning
of all the phrases wrapped together. Because it's another language/culture
sometimes words don't match up word for word.
Hatlh - "country, countryside"
You can't take just the first word and use it in the sense of "nation".

ghoS, leng, jaH, chegh, paw, paw' (and others) - the object is the
destination. The locative is the medium in/on which the action takes place.
DuSaQDaq jIjaH - The action of "going" is taking place at school. It sounds
like I'm wandering the halls.
DuSaQ vIjaH - I am going TO school.
lupwI'Daq DuSaQ vIjaH - I am going to school on a bus.

yaH "duty station" is a popular choice.

Again with the multiple definitions;
vaj is "then, thus, in that case, so (adv)". You can't take just the first
word "then".
vaj jIQong - Thus I went to sleep.
jIDoy'qu' vaj jIQong - I was very tired, then/thus/so I went to sleep.
