Thanks for the confirmation, I thought I had missed something. I have looked at Maltz' message again, and I believe I see the confusion:

You can read read this in two ways:
a) {ghIn} is a term for "a religious community"
b) {ghIn} is a term for a "religious community"
Got it?
He could have said {ghIn} is a general term for my mother, or my dog, and for anyone else. {ghIn} is the word for "monastery" and it's a general term for anyone who likes to use it.
Don't confuse it with "<<tlhIngan>> is a general term for <<Klingon>>"
I think we can now all gloss it as the building. At least for me, it's clear.
