- Can you knot?
- I cannot.
- So you can knot?

After giving us the word for "knitting", Maltz just revealed another 
useful and related word: it's {meS} and means "knot", both as noun and 
verb. The object of the verb is the thing you use to make a knot, e.g. 
{tlhegh vImeS} - "I make a knot in the rope". To loosen the knot, simply 
say {meSHa'}.

Maltz also said that now that everyone knows the word {meS}, he can add 
that {meS} is a frequently used slang term for "encrypt". Similarly, 
{meSHa'} means "decrypt".

(PS: for archivers: the first paragraph are my own words, the second 
paragraph are Okrand's)
