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"

>Additional Notes:
>See also {qev}.

{qev} "crowd" (verb)
