Default Is kimchi ....?

Does the noun 'kimchi' refer only to the peppery hot cabbage mixture,
or does it also extend to the other relishes that accompany a Korean
meal?

There are a gazillion different types of kimchee. Think of it along the
lines of the word "salad".
My favorite kimchee is the cucumber kimchee "oy-o" (no clue how to really
spell it)

I don't think you spell it, you hook a cucumber up to two D cells and have
yourself a hot time! <G>

Well.. now that you mention it... lol
Wasn't it Dr Ruth who suggested all elderly women keep a cucumber available?
In case they die unexpectedly, no one will think a thing about finding it in
the house during the post mortal house cleaning job.
Now, that titillating tidbit aside, cucumber kimchee is slightly sweet. But I
adore the more well known cabbage kimchee too. During one pregnancy all I
craved for a few months was kimchee and sticky rice. Oy.

Wow - about 127 different kinds!
Went to the local oriental market and found several different types,
some of which were on that list. Bought the radish chunks.
Nice/crunchy. - Mike

It's part.y generic to spicy pickled vegetables, and partly
specific to spicy pickled cabbage. Kind of like using
"soda" to mean a flavored carbonated drink or just plain
soda water.

I don't know how it's described in the U.S. because, personally, I don't
like it, but the to a Korean, it would be seasoned cabbage fermented in a
crock buried in the ground. The seasonings could vary, but not the process.
It wouldn't refer to any other vegetable that I know of. I can still smell
it in my mind. Yech!

You are entirely correct in everything that you say. However, while
agreeing with you completely, let me say that kimchi is probably the
single greatest culinary contribution from Korea, the many other
wonderful culinary delights notwithstanding. As you may or may not
surmise from this post, it is quite common to find avid fans of kimchi
disparaging the unique food at length!

Kimchee can be made from most vegetables, as well as seafood. There
is also a version called "water kimchee" which is not spicy at all.
There must be hundreds of kinds. When I lived in Los Angeles, I would
frequent the local Korean Supermarket, which devoted an entire *aisle*
to kimchee.

_The Kimchee Cookbook_ by Kim Man-Jo, Lee Kyou-Tae and Lee O-Young is
an excellent source of information and recipes.
