Miscellaneous room comments by Okrand:
CK: As accommodating as it is, you will not want to spend all of your time in your room.
KGT 189: Thus, if the occupant of a room heard a door chime, there would probably be no misunderstanding as a result of his or her saying {yI'Il!} ("Be sincere!") rather than the correct {yI'el!} ("Enter!").
