Discussed by Okrand:
"The slang word [na'], a verb, is used in such constructions as jIna' ("I
am positive [about something I just said]"; literally, "I am salty"] and
bIna''a' ("Are you sure?"; literally, "Are you salty?"). These kinds of
meanings may be expressed without using slang by employing such verbs as
Honbe' (not doubt) or Sovbej (know for certain). See also bej, a slang term
with similar meaning." (KGT 157)
Related verbs:
{ghov} recognize; {tlhoj} realize; {yaj} understand; {po'} be
expert/skilled; {Qub} think; {na'} be sure, be definite, be positive, be
certain (slang)
Antonym: {jIv} be ignorant
