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. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
