{ghojpu'} definitely covers "have learned [how to]."  {Sov} (v) "knows"; in
the appendix it is also a (n) "knowledge."  This implies that {Sov} covers
the concept of having the knowledge of (perhaps how to) do something.
 Contrast this with {ghov} (v) "knows [someone]."  Spanish, for example, uses
"conocer" vs. "saber."  But, Spanish does not have to use "ha/.../han
aprendido/a" to indicate knowing.

I recommend {Sov}.
