Collection Words


Within the class of Compound words and Simple words is found a set of words which refer to Collections. These I call Collection Words (to make a Wiki Word of it and to express it as a CollectionWord itself, I add the final "s" which I call the FinalSchar.

I am thinking that there are many SimpleWords and CompoundWords (notice again the FinalSchar) which can be further separated and grouped so as to fall in a GroupWithCommonCharacteristics.

They fall under several types:

SimpleWords which indicate a collection through their meaning (usually as a type)

animal

plant

meeting

reunion

crowd

audience

group

screened (differentiated)(as those who have passed some fitness tests or have documents indicating such (membership, credit-worthy, passed through detection devices, etc.))
