homologs and homologies

[Matt Buys]

Please excuse my ignorance, but my colleagues are unable to
help.

I refer you to: Nelson, G. 1989. Cladistics and evolutionary
models. Cladistics 5: 275-289.

Page 279.  ... organisms are homologs and have homologs as their
parts; taxa are homologies and have homologies as their parts...

Pray tell, what is the difference between homologs and homologies?
