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); [...]
(also {ghom'a'}) "crowd". Add to this list: {tlhach} "faction"
or "sect".
Cf. also {tum} "agency", {yejHaD} "institute/institution", {yej'an}
"(scholarly) society" and {nugh} "society (i.e. a group of people with a
shared culture)".
