  ETHNOS AND ANTHROPOLOGOS
"Ethnos" is the study or knowledge of the life-ways of a group of people--it comes from the Greek meaning "Nation," "race" or "people." From it are derived many of the terms central to anthropological method and theory--ethnography, ethnology, ethno-history, ethnocentrism, ethnogeny, ethnicity, ethno-nation, ethno-linguistics, ethno-musicology, ethnoscience, ethnosemantics, ethnomedicine, ethnobotany.
Ethnos names a basic operative principle in the definition of human identity and difference in a social world--human history has largely been a narrative of the formation, conflict and resolution of human identities and differences between different groups of people across time and space.
Ethnos also marks off a central principle in the study of the human condition in the world, of its many variations, its 'grand arc' of possibility, and its basic structures of pan-humanness.

 The State as the Enemy of the Ethnos
The academic literature on nationalism and ethnicity is an intellectual disaster; the harshest polemics and rants against even the most moderate nationalist position passes the phony “peer-review” process and usually renders nationalism somewhat akin to National Socialism.
ethnos is based around a shared culture; the state is based upon coercion, violence and bureaucracy.
As the centralized French state developed in the post-revolutionary era, the Celtic ethnos in the north of the country was forbidden to speak its language or use any of its symbols.

 IndiaStar: "What Is Ethnic?" article by Bharat Gupt
Ethnos in Greek was used for indicating a community which need not have been a tribe or a community of civilizationaly simpler kind.
An ethnos was consanguine group which could exert political pressure for its interests but which never thought of itself as a political entity.
Once an ethnos is well demarcated by the Eurocentric scholarship from the populations of the Asian or African regions, it does not take very long to convince its people that their ethnos is not just a tribe or a sub-group but a nation which should be and can be a sovereign state.

 Voinov papers: Resource Management
Gumilev defines an ethnos as a system characteristic of a large group of people originating from the same geographical landscape, feeling alike among themselves but different from the others in their behavioral patterns.
For Gumilev, an ethnos is not a society, neither it is a race, nor a population.
Therefore the florescence of an ethnos can be observed, but the civilizations thus produced turn out to be very unstable--they may be in place for relatively long time periods due to the accumulated inertia, but eventually they disintegrate.

 A Routledge Journal: Ethnos - Journal of anthropology
Ethnos is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal which publishes original papers promoting theoretical, methodological and empirical developments in the discipline of socio-cultural anthropology.
As anthropologists increasingly move between and beyond disciplinary boundaries, and as different national traditions of anthropology increasingly engage in dialogue with one another, the discipline itself continues to be enlarged and enriched.
Ethnos is committed to contributing to those dialogues and reflecting the shifting boundaries of anthropological enquiry.

 KARACHAI-2
There is a misleading tendency to generally associate the origin of an ethnos with the tribe that gave the name to the corresponding language group.
This approach ignores the fact that the names of the major part of language groups, including the Kipchak group, are merely conventional, and one should not conclude about the ethnogenetic commonality among the languages belonging to the same group.
The ethnography of an ethnos, its traditional culture, always reflects a symbiosis and mutual cultural influence of the peoples living together for many centuries.

 Lev Gumilev and his passionary theory ethnogenes.
And these phases (as well as occurrence of ethnos) are directly connected to a condition of passionarity (a level of power) its members.
In a stage of rise passionarity grows, in a phase of development she reaches the maximum heat (acmatic phase).
Occurs "overheating systems" - struggle of ambitions, and the ethnos enters a condition of a climax (sharp decrease in power).

 Who Are The Gentiles?, (A Scriptural study into the meaning of the terms Gentile and Israelite)
As a result, we find the English word GENTILE, comes from the Greek word "ethnos," or on a very few occasions "Hellen." The word ETHNOS, which is the most frequent word used means: "race, i.e., tribe, specifically a non-Judean (notice not non-Jew, but non-Judean) tribe, by implication a heathen.
It is never specifically used to mean a "non-Jew" and since it is again a "collective noun," it cannot be used to refer to an individual.
As you read in the King James 1611 Edition, remember that the English word GENTILE, is ETHNOS, and means "race; tribe; specifically a non-Judean tribe." The Jewish Encyclopedia clearly states that the tribes of Israel are not considered to be Jews.
