<De' pegh>

The proverb {De' pegh Sovlu'DI' chaq Do'Ha'} has been given to support
the use of {pegh} as a stative verb meaning "to be secret," but I want
to challenge that interpretation. The sentence makes perfect sense to
me if I take the words as presented in TKD, with no additional meaning
assumed for any any of them:
"When the information's secret is known, perhaps it is unfortunate."
Is there any other support, canon or otherwise, for the interpretation
of {pegh} to be extended beyond TKD's description?
