Klingon word: cheSvel
Part of speech: noun
Definition: style of coat from the Vospeg region, coat (regional), jacket (regional)
_______________________________________________
(KGT 29-30): In the First City, and in most places in the Empire, {wep} means "jacket, coat" and {yIvbeH} means "tunic"--that is, a shirt or shirtlike garment with or without sleeves. In the Vospeg ({voSpegh}) region, on the other hand, {yIvbeH} refers only to a sleeveless shirt (thus retaining much of the word's original meaning, a sleeveless protective garment worn by warriors), {wep} means a shirt with sleeves, and any jacket or coat is a {cheSvel}, a word that elsewhere refers to a specific style of coat associated with, not surprisingly, the Vospeg region.
