Klingon word: baghHa'
Part of speech: verb
Definition: crack a code (slang)
Source: qepHom 2014
_______________________________________________

 (qepHom 2014): {meS} is slang for encrypt.  {So'} is the normal way to say encrypt, {So'Ha'} means decrypt with permission, and {baghHa'} means decrypt without permission. 

(Lieven, 11/12/2014):  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." 

See:
bagh  		tie (v)
meS  		knot (v)
  - "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'}."  (Lieven, 11/12/2014)
