Language notes:
HQ 4.4 p.11: 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."
{ghom} also shows up in:
mangghom army (n)
mu'ghom dictionary (n)
ra'ghomquv High Command (n)
Saqghom landing party (n)
tIjwI'ghom boarding party (n)
Note that all are groups or assemblies of people -- with the exception of {mu'ghom}, an assembly of words. A set, group or assembly of objects seems to be {vey} (cf. Monopoly).
Related vocabulary:
ghom meet, encounter, assemble, rendezvous (v)
qIH meet (for the first time) (v)
qep meeting (n)

Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
