{wej} means "not yet". If you add a verb with -be' (which means 'not'), 
then you have used "not" twice.
Say:
{wej tlhIngan pong vIghaj}
"I do not have a Klingon name yet"

This was for beginners, the following is interesting for the advanced:
If you like to distinguish or emphasis the "yet"-part of "not yet", you 
could use the suffix {-lI'}, which shows an action coming to a visible end:
   {tlhIngan pong vIghajbe'lI'}
   "I don't have a klingon name (but this will be over soon)"

Lieven.
