Subfallen, to some of us lesser mortals, it is difficult to understand what you are saying at times due to the language you use.

[ QUOTE ]
Primordially 'truth' means the same as 'being-disclosive', as a way in which Dasein behaves. From this comes the derivative signification: 'the uncoveredness of entities'. Correspondingly, 'certainty', in its primordial signification, is tantamount to 'Being-certain', as a kind of Being which belongs to Dasein. However, in a derivative signification, any entity of which Dasein can be certain will also get called something 'certain'.
[/ QUOTE ]
And that's an unusually concrete analysis for Heidegger. On the average he stays more abstract, along the lines of:
[ QUOTE ]
The character of understanding as projection is constitutive for Being-in-the-world with regard to the disclosedness of its existentially constitutive state-of-Being by which the factical potentiality-for-Being gets its leeway.

You nailed it.
