When you use it
Use this when a qene verse must be decoded: find the hinge word (ህብረቃል) at the verse end, read its surface meaning (ሰም) and hidden meaning (ወርቅ), then unlock it by stretching or shortening words, using the history behind the verse, or splitting or joining words.
Watch out
The hinge word is usually at the end of the verse. For the ወርቅ answer, write the hidden meaning, not the literal sentence, which is the ሰም.
