The word you're thinking of is =ABvIlle'=BB - "minion".

Apart from that, I think =ABHo'wI'=BB ("admirer") works well. I've also ser=
n =ABnongwI'=BB ("passionate one"), which I think makes sense for the most =
hard-core fans.

What term would you use for a "fan," as in a groupie, cheerer, camp followe=
r type of person?
Specifically, what would you use if you only had access to TKD and did not =
know of the canon noun that I can't remember - was it something like {vIl} =
- for a kind of person who is just there, like a walking traffic bollard or=
something?
I've made good use of the verb Ho' *admire* (v);
{Ho'wI'} *fan* (literally, "admirer")
{Ho'wI'pu'} *fans* ("admirers")
{Ho'wI'ghom} *fan club* ("gathering of admirers")
Any good? Because I can see the terms getting mileage from sentences such as
{DaH Ho'wI'pu' vIghaj'a'} *I have fans, now?*
{Ho'wI'ghom Doj Daghajbej} *You certainly have an impressive fan club.*
{chay' Ho'wI'ghom Suqpu' ghaH'e'} *How did /she/ acquire a fan club?*
