There are only 26 tribes. However, a tribe can have multiple nunhs because a tia can become a nunh by extending the tribe's territory. When a tia does this, he becomes the nunh of that new territory and remains part of the tribe. The loremasters indicate that this is quite common and accepted in Seeker society (Fernehalwes's post). Splitting off to create a new a tribe is very rare and those who do so rarely admit to doing so, since they're essentially outcasts. However, when they do, they take their normal tribal letter and add a second letter to it; for instance, M'sato Tia might become Ma'sato Nunh (Fernehalwes's post on the rarity, Fernehalwes's post on the naming).
