Correct. I believe it's listed as two words in both the English-Klingon
and Klingon-English parts of the TKD Addendum glossary (which I don't have
with me at the moment). If it's a typo, the copy editors at Pocket Books
made it twice.
I have it defined in my notes as {chem} "field (of energy)". Other types
of "fields" that novices sometimes confuse are {che'ron} "battlefield" and
{yotlh} "field (of land)".
