ghojmoH is really ghoj + -moH
{maHvaD Dochmey'e' Sovbe'bogh jajmey ghojmoH DISmey}
"The years cause the things (which days don't know) to learn for us."
With the first option:
{Dochmey'e' Sovbe'bogh jajmey rut nughojmoH DISmey}
we might be able to get away with saying it is an -'e' in the "header"
position, "As for things which..."
One way to handle the objects of ghoj and ghojmoH is to use multiple sentences.
"The years teach us (cause us to learn). We learn things which the days don't
know."
/nughojmoH DISmey. Dochmey'e' Sovbe'bogh jajmey DIghoj./
And now someone will mention the canon:
