- 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)
