<p>Odd. The KLI's New Words List doesn't list <b>qulcher</b><i>
cream</i> separately from <b>nIm qulcher taD</b><i> ice cream.</i></p>
<p>In English, <i>cream</i> by itself might be assumed to be a kind
of food, or it might refer to any substance of that texture. It
really depends on how it's used.</p>
<p>In Klingon, we also have the word <b>'Ir</b><i> be creamy,
pasty,</i> which has the note "in the sense of toothpaste.
Describes smooth, thick liquids or liquid-like things." So the
substance you want can definitely be described as <b>'Ir,</b> and
in a pinch you could describe it as <b>'IrwI'</b><i> creamy
thing, pasty thing.</i></p>
<p>Since the Klingon describes ice cream specifically as <b>nIm
qulcher taD</b><i> frozen milk ??????,</i> and since <b>'Ir</b>
and <b>qulcher</b> were given to us in the same <b>qep'a',</b> I
am inclined to believe that <b>qulcher</b> can refer to any
substance with a creamy, pasty texture, not just dairy-based
cream. If this is correct, then an unguent is a kind of <b>qulcher.</b></p>
<p>Then there's the pun: the word <b>qulcher</b> sounds like <i>culture,</i>
which is what you use to grow things like bacteria. A yogurt
culture is the bacteria used to make yogurt, and yogurt is creamy,
but you usually don't call yogurt <i>cream.</i><br>
