When two or more words in a statute are grouped together, and ordinarily have a similar meaning but are not equally comprehensive, the general word will be limited and qualified by the specific word. 218 S.E. 2d 735, 740. Noscitur a sociis (Lat.)- 1. "It is recognized by partners." 2. "The meaning of a doubtful word may be ascertained by reference to the meaning of the words associated with it." 3.
