I'm wondering...

How are these actually used in the context of Klingon conversation? For 
example, the Secrecy Proverb (I really don't understand what that title 
mean BTW) I see being used in a situation where a stupid idea has been 
proposed (like, say, mating with Be'tor) and an older, wiser Klingon 
pointing out that it would *never* happen.

jalth tlhIngan wa'DIch:  manga'chuqlaH be'etor jIH je.

jang tlhIngan cha'DIch:  'Iw HIq yap tu'lu'be'.

qar'a'?
