Why wouldn't "knowledge" be translated as {le se djuno}? I think of
"knowledge"
as "that which is known". I would translate {leka djuno cu vlipa} into
English
as "knowing is powerful", which is very close to saying the same thing, but
not
quite.

But it is not the things known that are powerful -- they could exist unknown
and have no effect at all; it is that they are known that is powerful, I
think. Whether that is a property or an event is not clear, but it seems to
be one or the other. --part1_90.17f96f00.2898adfd_boundary--
