which probably encompasses chemical, vocal, audial, magnetic,

been
close to a large cat, you get a feeling from him, a vibe. Large
predators
all have a sense. It's just like how, if you stare at the back of a
sentry
intensely enough, he's likely to turn around. He just gets a crawly
feeling.
I've experienced this effect - it isn't more than somewhat reliable, but
it
exists. This was the kind of extra-sensory phenomena I was talking
about.
Not extra-sensory now that I think about it - more supersensory - that
is to
say your subconscious processing all the little bits of data not
noticeable
to the conscious mind and doing something with that. Combine this with
an
adrenal system that goes ballistic under threat conditions (mellows with
age, mellows with training, some might be immune like the humans who
never
shake during a fight from adrenalin - they're cool as cucumbers) and you
have Ro'kah. No *psi* involved.

It's known that Elephants emit and sense subsonic sounds. A similar
mechanism in humans could well be possible, perhaps by resonance in the
lungs/chest cavity.
