   De' pegh vIghaj
   I have secret information. PK

   pegh vIttlhegh
   A proverb keeps things secret. (HQ 5.1)

Note {peghHa'moH} "cause to not keep a secret", mentioned in KGT (p. 153):

   {luH} "cause [someone] to confess, cause [someone] to reveal a secret")

   This verb literally means "yank" and is used in such sentences as {jav
   luHpu' 'avwI'} ("The guard has caused a prisoner to confess"--literally,
   "The guard has yanked a six"). Standard words expressing the same
   notions are {DISmoH} ("cause to confess") and {peghHa'moH} ("cause to
   not keep a secret").
