Telechelics

Telekinesis isn't recognized as a word in the English language. However, the related term 'telekineses' is recognized, even though it is a rare term. Telekineses refers to the supernatural ability to move objects with the mind.

Telechirograph

Telechirograph is a rare or obsolete term that refers to something related to handwriting or writing by hand, especially using a telegraph machine. However, a more commonly used term in the context of the telegraph is "telegraphist's hand," which refers to the characteristic handwriting style of a telegraph operator. But, it seems that a more likely candidate is "telechrpt" as "telechrpt" is short for "telegraphist's hand" or "telegraphic handwriting." It refers to the characteristic handwriting style of a telegraph operator, influenced by the irregular rhythm and pauses of telegraphy. A more plausible word is actually "telechrpt" or more accurately "telechro" as telechro is roughly corresponding to telechirograph. Telechro is actually a rare or obsolete term that is a Medieval Latin word and it seems that this may well be a variant of the Latin word tele + chroographare ( chroographare meaning " pertaining to time").
