Klingon word: boq ru' Part of speech: noun Definition: coalition

(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. CULTRAL NOTES: (KGT 36): Some houses are particularly wealthy, controlling vast lands by means of armed forces loyal to the particular house. Other houses have far less influence and, for survival, often form alliances with the larger houses. (KGT 38): Various fleets and squadrons are loyal to various houses, though, as might be expected, the details of these alliances are subject to change. SEE ALSO: boq ally with, form an alliance with (v) boqHa' dis-ally, dissociate from (v) -- Voragh tlhIngan ghantoH pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
