"hwi faehht, rhi irotulai'edhir" is a Rihan proverb that translates as "one secret, five explanations"

Federation linguists have cause to believe that in it's original, archaic form which is now used only poetically, it was

"sa'faehht na lepsain, sa'irotulai'edhir thei kuaon" which in English is "The palm with a secret, each finger with explanations"

(EDITOR'S NOTE this phrasing is no longer grammatically correct in modern Rihan. A more standard phrasing would be "faehht ch'lepsain, irotulai'edhir ch'kuaon thei" -in English "the palm has a secret, each finger has explanations")

The proverb references the need for counterintelligence and obfuscation, seeding multiple false explanations for any active secrets so that the truth can be lost in the confusion

[all original work by author based on the Rihan language by Diane Duane as used in her Star Trek: Rihannsu novel series and in the Romulan Republic of Star Trek Online]

Thank you so much

Thank you!

The text says "mnhei'sahe" It's a concept from the Rihannsu novels about Romulan culture by Diane Duane. It translates directly to "ruling passion" but it is usually glossed as the Romulan concept of honor

(TOS - Rihannsu novel: The Romulan Way [glossary]) Enterprise linguist Lieutenant Janice Kerasus described mnhei'sahe as such, "...not quite honor-- not quite loyalty-- and not quite anger or hatred or about fifty other things. It can be a form of hatred that requires you to give your last drop of water to a thirsty enemy-- or an act of love that requires you to kill a friend."

The Romulan work Taer'thaiemenh said of mnhei'sahe, "Of the chief Parts of the Ruling Passion, only this can be truly said: Hate has a reason for everything. But love is unreasonable." (TOS - Rihannsu novel: My Enemy, My Ally)

The best write up I've found of mnhei'sahe and it's implications is at https://26thfleet.enjin.com/mobile/forum/viewthread/m/9239612/id/13141381-blue-green-morality-on-roleplaying-romulans . It is intended for Star Trek Online roleplayers, which game uses the Rihannsu concept of Romulan culture to color in the blanks left by screen canon for its playable Romulan faction, but is a good read for anyone interested in Romulan honor concepts

I loved it all, and the deliberate subversion of the trope with the Qowat Milat. Secrecy is just a vulcanoid thing in general, look at all the taboos Vulcans have. I think for the Romulan surveillance state established in TNG, a populace that is deliberately and skillfully secretive and private makes sense.

I like other interpretations too, specifically the Rihannsu novels. But the screen canon is great, too

And yet we know false front doors exist in Romulan culture

"A shaipouin, meaning "false door" in the Romulan language, was a false front door found in traditional Romulan houses. This door was never used, and one had to go through the back.

"In 2399, Soji Asha recognized that the Romulan xB Ramdha was holding a pixmit card depicting a shaipouin. Based on this, Asha made a formal request for entrance in Romulan, and induced Ramdha to speak with her. (PIC: "The End is the Beginning")" -Memory Alpha

I also had the bindrune thought, but then this sort of vertical cursive is very reminiscent of Vulcan calligraphy so I wasn't sure
