Note: "The Italians apply the term il duomo to the principal
church of a city, and the Germans call every cathedral
church Dom; and it is supposed that the word in its
present English sense has crept into use from the
circumstance of such buildings being frequently
surmounted by a cupola." --Am. Cyc.
[1913 Webster]

as the upper part of a furnace, the vertical steam chamber

Note: If the plane is parallel to the longer diagonal
(macrodiagonal) of the prism, it is called a macrodome;
if parallel to the shorter (brachydiagonal), it is a
brachydome; if parallel to the inclined diagonal in a
monoclinic crystal, it is called a clinodome; if
parallel to the orthodiagonal axis, an orthodome.
