AFAIK never used in canon, but I've seen Beginning Grammarians ask on the List:

  nuq 'oH vuDlIj'e'?

  vuDlIj yIja'! 


Similar words:

qech 	idea (n)
ngoD 	fact (n)
Sov 		knowledge (n)
De' 		data, information (n)
yoj 		judgment (n)

qel 		take into account, consider (v)


As an exercise, how about translating Terence's pithy Latin {vIttlhegh}:

  "Quot homines, tot sententiae." 

Any takers?
