It's the general problem that with a verb with -moH, it's not so clear
who is the recipient of the action.
compare
{loD vIghojmoH} "I teach the man"
{Hol vIghojmoH} "I teach a language"
and now say "I teach the man Klingon".
The clearest answer is {loDvaD tlhIngan Hol vIghojmoH}, but isn't the
{loD} the one who does {ghoj}?
Interesting, isn't it? :-)
