Secrecy isn't entirely without precedent for Okrand:
"When asked to speak Klingon, he often says, {QI' peghmey vI'angQo'}
which means 'I refuse to reveal military secrets'." [Qov, HQ 13.3:14]
It's a theme in the tapes:
pegh De'vetlh! (CK)
De' pegh vIghaj. (PK)
not to mention the whole series of {peghmey vIttlheghmey} from PK:
lojmIt poSDaq Daq pagh.
De' lI' Sovlu'DI' chaq Do'Ha'.
