tlhegh vImeS
I make a knot in the rope. (Lieven, 11/12/2014)
Lieven (11/12/2014): 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.
PUN:
Untying a knot is a "mess"? (quljIb); or "mesh"? (Gaerfindel)
