There's only one problem here: you've said "But I have my bad databanks." I'm
not too partial on using such a word for biological memory, but it's not
important right now. You don't want that {-wIj} on {qawHaq}.
Also, why speak of "having" when you can say
qab qawHaqwIj?
My databanks are bad.
Better yet, get rid of the {qawHaq} word altogether, and say
qab yabwIj
My brain is bad.
It's a bit out there, but you could even say,
qab qawlaHghachwIj
My ability to remember is bad.
