The Goblin Conspiracy Behind threshold

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, threshold is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on cipher: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.'
