Related verbs:
{ghoj} learn; {Qul} research; {nuD} examine
Related nouns:
{yejHaD} "institute, institution"
An organization dedicated to scholastic pursuits or research is a
{yejHaD} "institute" or "institution" or a {yej'an} "society". The
distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the
former is usually--but not always--used for larger organizations.
It is not known whether the first syllable of these words ({yej})
is {yej} "council, assembly", but there could be some historic
connection. (HQ 4.4:11)
{HaDwI'} ["student (i.e. "one who studies"), scholar (?)]

[untranslated post to SuStel, msn.onstage.startrek.expert.Okrand 11/1996)
tlhIngan Hol HaDwI'
[Marc Okrand's inscription in ghunchu'wI's TKD]
AFAIK {HaDwI'} has never been listed in a glossary - though it has been
used by Okrand - but I would be comfortable using it for "(graduate)
student" over the more general {ghojwI'} "student" (i.e. "one who
learns"). Cf. also {tej} "scientist" and *{QulwI'} "researcher".
