The Latin phrase sanctum sanctorum is a Latin translation of the biblical term "Holy of Holies" which generally refers in Latin texts to the Holiest place of the Tabernacle of Ancient Israel and later the Temples in Jerusalem, but also has some derivative use in application to imitations of the Tabernacle in church architecture.

bottle > air

It's a railroad term, an improper procedure. When uncoupling a train, the valve cock should always be left open on the car being cut away from so that all the cars being left sitting go into emergency. Closing said valve cock is called bottling the air.
