kedjevakt

Kedjevakt is a term appearing in some Norwegian-language sources that seems to be a compound of kedje meaning “chain” and vakt meaning “guard” or “watch.” The expression is not part of standard Norwegian dictionaries, and its exact sense is not fixed across sources. As a result, kedjevakt is typically treated as a specialized or regional term whose meaning depends on the context in which it appears.

In mechanical and industrial contexts, kedjevakt could refer to a device or procedure related to guarding a chain drive or protecting a chain from damage. In nautical or maritime usage, the term might denote duties related to chain handling, such as monitoring or securing the anchor or mooring chain. However, there is no universal definition, and attestations are scarce in authoritative references.

Regional variation and dialect may influence spelling, with forms such as kedjevakt or kedjevakt observed. The term may appear in historical texts, technical manuals, or workplace jargon rather than in mainstream language resources. Because of its limited documentation, any current interpretation should be anchored in the specific source where the term is found.
