I'm almost positive this is wrong. I even recognized the verb ghaj without
looking it up! :)
ghaj means "to have", as in "possession", and does not relate to past or
present tense in any way. To say I have not skied on snow, it would be
peDDaq jI"SQIy"ta'be'
I think that's the best solution... I thought it would be cute to homomize
"ski" to "SQIy".... :)
