well, with analogues being monogamy and polygamy, and gamos= greek for marriage, i'd guess that homogamy should be restricted to mating.

Subject: Q about homogamy

 

Gleitman's Intro text defines homogamy as "tendency of like to mate with
like" though in the text the term appears in a context that suggests it
means we associate with others like us.

Q: does the term "homogamy" necessarily imply mating (as the roots would
suggest) or is the term used more broadly to mean any tendency for like
to befriend like? [I am writing a paper and want to refer to the latter,
but not the former]. The dictionaries in my office are of no help. Any
help will be appreciated! JK
