David has already done a good job showing other examples on how to use
them, here just follows a list of explanations we got from Maltz.
These were printed in this year's qepHom-booklet.
Qapla',
Lieven.

chIvo'

chuD
n. people, kin, member of the same group or tribe or clan (very similar
to vInDa')
Dojmey
n. mass, masses, multitude, a very large but indeterminate group of
something (people or otherwise)
This word is derived from Doj batch, pile, heap, accumulation plus -mey,
the general plural suffix. Even if referring only to beings capable of
using language, one would normally not say Dojpu'.)

posing a threat)

This word is similar to HeSwI' criminal. HeSwI' is used to refer to
someone who breaks a law; jIvvo' connotes, in addition, being evil.
