Here's the complete quote:
Some additional information has come to light regarding words
relating to groups or assemblies. Among those words already well-
known for different types of groups are:
{boq} "alliance" (also "bloc" or "coalition," though "coalition"
is sometimes {boq ru'}, literally "temporary alliance")
{DIvI'} "federation" or "organization" (also "association",
"league", "union")
{ghom} "group" or "party" (also "band," in the nonmusical sense)
{qev} (also {ghom'a'}) "crowd"
Add to this list: {tlhach} "faction" or "sect".
Although it's possible that {qev} is a look-up error here, Okrand is
clearly discussing varous nouns in this paragraph. So, {qev} has become a
homophonous noun with the verb {qev} "crowd".
