Pretty sure if a Tia leaves their tribe specifically under the guise of forming a new tribe, and they have a couple people with them, that's enough to call themselves a Nunh. Perhaps they are looking for a place to settle down.
The strict A-Z tribes are implied to not be the only tribes to exist, just the strongest.
Aa'____ Ab'____ Ac'_____ and so on for every combination are free to be created.
I'd imagine if a Tia leaves their tribe and opens up a new hunting ground, they'd have the option of becoming another Nunh of their existing tribe (the whole "Tribe" -> "Sept" -> "Breeding group" structure), too, which would carry a lot more cache than creating a new tribe.
C'kayah Tia journeying from his home, opening up a hunting area, then settling down to pioneer a Coeurl settlement there would be C'kayah Nunh, with all that entails. C'kayah Tia deciding "Fuck this shit" and running off with a few females would be something like Ca'kayah Nunh, which is a different thing entirely.
I think tribes are kind of like nationalities, not political allegiances. If you were born a wolf, and start a new tribe, it's still the wolf tribe, just a different wolf tribe.
I was basing my knowledge off of this wiki page which is based off of this community post, but of course, wikis, anyone can edit, yada yada yada, so I do apologize if my understanding is totally off-base and just based off of some random dude's rambling.
Quote:There is only one other way a tia can become a nunh, and that is to leave his tribe, and start his own. This, of course, requires several females to accomplish, and most female Seekers of the Sun are rarely impressed by a male who cannot defeat a nunh. As all letters of the alphabet are already taken by the 26 original tribes, any new tribes founded by tia are named with a second letter, such as "Ma" (e.g. "Ma'shtola"). These tribes tend to die out due to the aforementioned lack of women.
In that sense, yes, the new tribe is still a "wolf tribe," just a wolf tribe with an extra "a" or whatever in the label. A subset of the drakes, but still a drake tribe. U'roh Tia leaves his tribe to start a new tribe and decides to go by Ua'roh Nunh now. That sort of thing.
