I think what you're trying to say is "T'rkal merely smiles [toothy grin and a
bit of growling implied], because she [fully] knows which person will die . .
. and she is obviously not that person!"
You said {mon trI'Qal neH}. Did you really mean to say "Only T'rkal smiles"?
Here's a situation where I couldn't really follow using a question word in an
{'e'} construction. I worked out what you probably wanted to say and tried
to see it backwards. Have I gotten it right? Perhaps {HeghwI' Sovchu'mo'}
would work better?
Finally, I was a little confused about your pronouns (or lack of nouns) in
this sentence. Have I gotten these right? If so, then perhaps {nuvvetlh
ghaHbe'ba' trI'Qal'e'} would add clarity.
