• ghIn could be a single building if that's all the monastery was, it could also refer to a group of buildings and accompanying grounds (gardens or whatever) -- the whole defined area where the members of the religious community live or work or do whatever they do there. It doesn't mean the group of people. [2011-01-16-Email]
