(HQ 4.4:11 "Groups"):  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.

(De'vID, 1/14/2018):  IIRC this came from a (deleted?) line in ST3 which matched Genesis Device in English to {jan SeH DIvI'} in Klingon.
