(Lieven, 11/2014 < qepHom 2014):  Maltz also said that now that everyone knows the word {meS} ["knot"], he can add that {meS} is a frequently used slang term for "encrypt". Similarly, {meSHa'} means "decrypt".

Lieven also mentioned that {So'} is the normal way to say "encrypt", {So'Ha'} means "decrypt with permission", and {baghHa'} means "decrypt without permission".
