On another thread, our honorable Canon master shared with us the sentence:

The Apollo 11 Command Module, Columbia, was the living quarters for the three-person crew during most of the first manned lunar landing mission in July 1969. (NASM)

But what the jay' is {ra'ghom} ? All I knew of, was the tkd's {ra'ghomquv} for "high command".
Good catch! This seems to be a new word that no one has noticed before (so far as I can remember). I wonder what the best way to translate it is? Clearly, just /command/ by itself is insufficient.
As a matter of fact, the Canon Master himself hypothesised the existence of this word in 2010: https://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2010/January/msg00051.html
*ra'ghom command staff? < ra'ghomquv
Since the word wasn't used by Okrand until 2016, I think we have to give the credit of its discovery to qunnoq. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
