Well, this is awkward. See, I'm a member of the United States Coast 
Guard Auxiliary, and our flotilla is a band. The Auxiliary doesn't have 
ranks, because it is a civilian organization instead of a military one, 
so the elected leader of our flotilla has the title of Flotilla 
Commander, which fully would be *nawlogh ra'wI',* more or less, but 
which would usually be shortened to *ra'wI'*/commander./ But we also 
have a member elected to the position of Band Leader, which fully would 
be something like *QoQ ghom ra'wI',* but surely would be reduced to 
*ra'wI'* /conductor./ Oops.
