In order that I learn it, Klingon is preferable to Vulcan.

Klingon does not have a purpose of being preferable so that you learn it.

We already know that -meH clauses can be interpreted as "for the purpose of", especially with stative verbs.

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam "For the purpose of someone dying, today is good," not "Someone dying is the purpose of today being good."

tlhutlhmeH HIq ngeb qaq law' bIQ qaq puS "For the purposes of drinking, fake ale is preferable to water", not "Drinking is the purpose of fake ale being preferable to water."

and thus

vIghojmeH tlhIngan Hol qaq law' vulqangan Hol qaq puS "For the purposes of my learning, Klingon is preferable to Vulcan."
