Lieven (11/12/2014): After giving us the word for knitting [i.e. {nIq}], 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" .
