What is the difference between chyle and chyme?

Chyle is a milky bodily fluid that forms in the small intestine. The chyle forms specifically during digestion of fatty foods. Chyme, on the other hand, is a mixture of partly digested food and stomach fluids. It is termed as a ‘semifluid mass of partly digested food,’ and is also known as chymus.
