My opinion: it's *nothing* like that, unless you were trying to say "How
do I know that I sent email?" In that case, the {chay'} is misplaced, and
has to go next to the {'e'}.
If you were trying to say something else, you've chosen the wrong tools to
say it. Did you mean "I know how to send email"? The "how" in that
sentence is not translated into Klingon with the question word {chay'}.
It's a relative pronoun referring to a procedure, and I'd translate it
using the word {mIw}.
