the Clan = Brun/Broud’s clan, the group of characters we are all familiar with

The Clan = all of the Clan peoples, including other caves

mog-ur (lowercase m) = refers to the position when lowercased. It is never directed at a specific person, but more as a broader concept

the Cave (capital C) = the specific cave that is home to the Clan
