As used in canon:

   yIvbeHlIj neH DapoSmoH vIneH.
   The only thing I want you to open is your blouse. (ST5 notes)

   Heghpu'bogh tlhIngan mInDu' lupoSmoHlu'
   The eyes of the fallen Klingon are opened... S31

Not canon, but worth knowing:

   qo'mey poSmoH Hol
   "Language opens (up) worlds." (motto of the KLI)

Cf. also {naw'} "access" and {'el} "enter".

>Additional Notes:
>Opposite of {SoQmoH}.

I.e. "close, shut".  E.g.:

   Qorwagh yISoQmoH
   Close the window! KGT
