(Western US) Soluble mineral matter, other than common salt, contained in soils of natural waters. ==== Synonyms ==== (chemistry): base ==== Antonyms ==== (antonym(s) of “chemistry”): acid ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Welsh: alcali ==== Translations ==== === See also === caustic pH === References === “Alcali”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 "alcali", in Charles du Fresne du Cange, Glossarium Mediæ et Infimæ Latinitatis (augmented edition with additions by D.
