latlh De'/Additional Information
These two adages offer the same advice: Even with those who appear to be honorable, ethical, and deserving of trust, one must always be careful. In the first expression, the Klingon word for "door," "{lojmIt,}" could equally well be translated "gate." It is used here to stand for any form of entrance or, more important, exit. The general idea is to have an escape route, a way out, or a backup plan should the trust be misplaced. Accordingly, a Klingon is generally apprehensive when someone says of a commitment or a plan, "{ngaQ lojmIt}" ("The door is locked"). The phrase "{ngaQ lojmIt}" is also sometimes heard in reference to a situation with an inevitable, unavoidable outcome. The origin of the second proverb is unknown, but it seems to be related to an ancient political movement known as {ghIlaSnoS,} whose meaning has also been lost to obscurity.
