Well, I might prefer it without the "'oH", but otherwise it's okay. It
doesn't emphasize the time quite so much, but that's okay. Another
rephrase would be "jatlh 'e' mev 'e' Sov SuvwI'": a warrior knows *that* he
has finished speaking. Not precisely the words I had in English? So what.
In this usage, it suffices. I, too, doubt that such rephrasing always
works, though, and I don't think it goes against canon. What examples have
you for better suggestions?
