Good question. I have three answers to this, with grades of
correctness.
<br>
<br>
a) I would accept {chay' DaSov} with no objection, but I have no
evidence this is correct.
<br>
<br>
b) Taken the book, there is a way to refer to a previous sentence,
maybe {chay' 'e' DaSov}, but this maybe wrong.
<br>
<br>
c) To be on a very clean grammatical track, I would suggest to say
what you even used in your question:
<br>
{chay' ngoDvetlh DaSov?}
<br>
"How do you know that fact?"
