Awwww, charghwI'; I know you can do better than that. "Sovta'be'" is a
strange construction to start with: "-ta'" is a perfective, indicating that
the action is finished. And how can you be "finished" knowing something?
(cf Welsh, where (I think) the verbs "to know" (gwybod and adnabod) are
never used in perfect tenses; only a verb like "sylwi"=realize is. Or
something). I suppose you can use "realize" (tlhoj) or even SovchoH. But
you could even stick with Sov if you remember the important way to get to
"not yet": "wej".
