Talk:Clan
From Academic Kids
Is a clan substantially different from a tribe? Pizza Puzzle
It should be, but since the Scottish clans ressembled small tribes, the distinction is blurry. I have translated ätt as "clan" since the definition of clan is a social unit based on common descent and which is bigger than a family but smaller than a tribe.--Wiglaf 15:51, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
