Core sense — a man's near kinsfolk; fewer than ten men; a slit leather waist-wrappergenerated
1a man's people and tribe, his near kinsfolk—رَهَطٌ
a number of men fewer than ten, among whom is no woman—نَفَرٌ
Of the two forms, the first is the better Arabic.
Or from seven to ten, and sometimes a little more; fewer than seven, down to three, is called نَفَرٌ; or from three to ten.
Or it means the same as عَشِيرَةٌ, or more than ten up to forty.
It is a plural, or a word with a plural meaning, without any proper singular, like نَفَرٌ, قَوْمٌ, مَعْشَرٌ, and عَشِيرَةٌ, all applied to men and not to women.
a man's people and tribe—أُرْهُوطٌ
The plural of رهط is أَرْهُطٌ, أَرْهِطَةٌ, and أَرْهَاطٌ, all plurals of paucity, the last being plural either of رَهَطٌ or of رَهْطٌ; also أَرَاهِطُ, as though plural of أَرْهُطٌ, though Sb makes it plural of رَهْطٌ because plurals of plurals are rare; and أَرَاهِيطُ [apparently plural of أَرْهَاطٌ].
they are his people and his tribe, closely related—هُمْ رَهْطُهُ دِنْيَةً

Worn by children, or by a young girl before she has reached puberty, and by a woman during menstruation.
[In Nubia the رَهْط, still called by that name, is very neatly made, of a great number of slender thongs; it is worn there by young girls, and is generally their only covering, completely surrounding and hiding the pelvic part of the body, and the whole or part of the thighs.]
In the Time of Ignorance the men used to make their circuits [around the Kaabeh] naked, and the women wearing only the رهط. [See also حَوْفٌ, in two places.]
