“1988, D. Blair Gibson, M.N. Geselowitz, Tribe and Polity in Late Prehistoric Europe, Springer, Softcover reprint, page 47, All pastoral and agro-pastoral societies have⟳ some form⟳ of suprafamilial and often supralocal political structure⟳, and all are marked by some form⟳ of social inequality.”

“The social group of interest⟳ when historians speak⟳ of "communes" in rural Russia is any suprafamilial one that is linked to the territory of a village or sometimes a parish community.”

“What is striking in the innovations of both Solon and Cleisthenes is the establishment of a governing body that was suprafamilial, in which the members of the council functioned as citizens—as representatives of the city-state (polis) as such—rather than as representatives of the family (oikos) or clan (genos).”

“A suprafamilial name⟳ revised from its previously published rank with accompanying change⟳ of termination (which may or may not be intended to signalize the change⟳ of rank) is recorded as nom. transl et correct⟳.”

“In the final version of this classification (Cushman, 1948), the number⟳ of families (without any suprafamilial groupings) was 50.”

“While the Code does not apply⟳ to taxa above the family level, Corliss (1962a) argued that it is common sense⟳ to apply⟳ these principles at the suprafamilial level, and we have⟳ followed this recommendation. When a suprafamilial taxon has been simply transferred within a higher taxon or between higher taxa, even if it has changed its rank, we have⟳ retained the priority date⟳ from the original publication along with the original authorship. This promotes stability and recognizes priority.”
