So based on all these examples, {moch Qel} *could* mean
"higher-rank-doctor", but maybe not.

So it leads back to the next question if that always works, or if it's
only acceptable if Maltz says so, or if there is a pattern. It seems to
work with all materials, and I guess all of the other examples can also
be expanded.
