Groups Some additional information has come to light regarding words relating to groups or assemblies. Among those words already well-known for difterent 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" There are also a few more words related to schools or academic pursuits. The most general word for "school" (a place for learning) is {DuSaQ} A Specialized school, perhaps translatable as "academy," is {'ampaS}. An organization dedicated to scholastic pursuits or research is a {yejHaD} "institute" or "institution" or a {yej'an} "society." The distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the former is usually -- but not always -- used for larger organizations. It is not known whether the first syllable of these words ({yej}) is {yej} "council, assembly," but there could be some historic connection. Note that {nugh} "society" has a much broader meaning: a group of people with a shared culture. Accordingly, {tlhIngan nugh} would mean "Klingon society" as distinguished from, say, Romulan society, but {tlhIngan yej'an} would probably be "the Klingon Society," a group dedicated to the study of Klingons. 2. Negative Adverbials? The word for "dishonorably" is {batlhHa'}. This is clearly the adverbial {batlh} "in an honored fashion" plus a suffix {-Ha'}, which might be analyzed as the negative suffix that follows verbs or else as a suffix identical in form (and meaning?) to it, but which appears with adverbials. Whether this {-Ha'} can he added to all adverbials is not clear. The notes taken while working with Maltz indicate that he balked at {vajHa'} ("not thus") but accepted {Do'Ha'} "unfortunately." Information on other adverbials has not yet been uncovered, though it is probably in the notes somewhere. [[eof]]
