Company

The primary Modern English meaning of the word "company" is for a commercial entity, with a secondary meaning denoting a small military formation. The remaining linguistic connection of "company" with 'companion' is very tenuous. I would suggest replacing "company" with "companions." Urselius ( talk) 10:15, 23 December 2009 (UTC) reply
