Klingon word: chem Part of speech: noun Definition: field (physical) Source: qepHom 2024 _______________________________________________ (qepHom 2024 REQUEST): "We have the terms magnetic field - {peQchem}, force field - {Surchem}, gravitational field - {thlamchem}, warp field - {pIvchem}, but no word that just describes the physical field itself (there are many more: temperature field, current field etc.)" (qepHom 2024 NOTE): The term {chem} together with the object whose field you want to describe is likely. So f.ex. the electric field could be {'ulchem} or the electromagnetic field {'ulchem peQchem je} (or something like that). SEE: ghe'chem terraforming field (n) HoSchem energy field (n) So'chem cloaking field (n) SEE ALSO: yotlh field (of land) (n) che'ron battlefield (n) woj radiation (n) tIH ray, energy beam (n) N.B. Do not confuse with the verb {chem} "prank, play a practical joke on someone, trick someone" from qepHom 2022. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
