No. Literally, you'd have to say {Sov Sovbe'taHvIS} "He knows while he
doesn't know." And I'm quite sure that any Klingon you tried to say this to
would look at you funny, and then slam you to the ground.
Let's put it this way: try learning the rules correctly before you start
making things up. Once you can converse with me completely correctly in
Klingon, THEN I'll entertain ideas you have about extrapolation.
