Why wouldn't "knowledge" be translated as {le se djuno}? I think of

as "knowing is powerful", which is very close to saying the same thing, but

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.
