{wej} means either "three" or "not yet". The prefix {vI-} doesn't
help me to resolve the ambiguity; it applies to both singular and
plural objects. Because you used {-be'} on the verb, I'm inclined
to translate it as "three". I don't think that's what you intended,
though. If you mean "I don't know that thing yet," then I think you
need to drop the {-be'} to say "I do not yet know that thing."
