kinship group

The state, in distinction from the kinship group or the village community, was organized for power and profit.

In Igorot names there is no vestige of a kinship group tracing relation through either the paternal or maternal line.

In a feudally organized society, moreover, each kinship group or species occupies a definite place.

The kinship group as a religious body simply extended the kin to include invisible as well as visible members.

The present collective, impersonal agencies are not so naïve as the old kinship group.
