"-gau" usually means "x1 makes that (whatever comes before gau, with its=20
places shifted by 1)". x2 of "gasnu" is an event, which is the abstraction =
of=20
whatever comes before "gau". So:
stela: x1 is a lock on x2 with mechanism x3
telgau: x1 makes x2 be a lock on x3 with mechanism x4.
"telgau", as I interpret it, does not imply that x3 is locked. A locksmith=

takes a door which does not have a lock and puts a lock in it: that's=20
"telgau". I put the key in the lock and turn it so that the door cannot be=

opened without the key: that's "telga'ogau". The door cannot be opened with=
out=20
the key: that's "telga'o".
