I think "lock" and "unlock" should be "telga'ogau" and "telkargau". "telgau", 
I think, should mean "to put a lock on", that is, if you have a door with a 
hole for a lock, you put a lock in it. "telcaugau" would then mean "to make 
something lockless", and "toltelgau" makes me wonder what a "tolstela" (an 
unlock?) is. (There are two prefixes "un-" in English; one is from "*anti" and 
may be closer in meaning to "fat-", and the other is from "*ne" and means 
"tol-" or "nal-". Some words, such as "untied", can have either and it's 
sometimes hard to tell which.) Something can have a lock and not be locked.
