Category: People
Klingon word: chom
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: bartender
Source: TKD (83 KE, 121 EK)
Swedish: bartender
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 83. In fact {vut} can also be used in reference to making a beverage, whether simply mixing ingredients together (such as putting cream in coffee) or starting rom scratch (such as brewing ale). A Klingon food and/or beverage preparer is a {vutwI'} (for conveneince, this will continue to be translated as "cook"). A bartender, on the other hand, is a {chom}. The term for food of any kind (including beverages) is {Soj}.
KGT p. 101. If there is a separate bar ({tach}) [in the {Qe'}], the bartender ({chom}) will mix drinks; otherwise, the chores fall to the {vutwI'}.
