Description:
The term 'horolawt' is the preferred technical term to describe any word, preferably a modifier, for a group of people. It literally means 'group word'. the alternative 'horopoen', 'group name', is strongly deprecated and generally only used in consciously illicit contexts such as in Humanist ideology. It would rarely be used in a verbal context, where it would be a pali verb meaning 'be a demonym'.
