Never used in canon.
Discussed by Okrand:
"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'." (HQ
4.4:11 "Groups")
Cf. also {Hutvagh} "too many people or things in a place all at once"

>See also {qev}.
