Perhaps {bombogh ghommey} "groups which sing" or {bommeH ghommey} "groups
for singing"? I choose to use the general plural suffix {-mey} instead of
{-pu'} because I don't think the groups in this sense use language, but
I could probably go either way here.

This works too; {bomwI'ghommey} "singer-groups".
