In my lyrics to {lurDech}, I wanted to translate the phrase "Mother teaches me to manage the house". The verb {ghojmoH} immediately suggested itself, but how to use it, given that we never reached concensus on what it's direct object would be: the subject(lesson) or the person taught the subject, or what role the person taught would take on if it wasn't the object? So, I settled on {juH vIvu'meH mughojmoH SoS}.
I thought I was pretty clever ;)
