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. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

*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
{ra'ghom} doesn't appear in any dictionaries yet. But if you work back from the components of {ra'ghomquv} and look at the original English, I think it's not too hard to figure out the intent. {ra'ghomquv} looks like {ra'} "command (v)", {ghom} "group", and {quv} "be honored", so it means something like "honored command group". Presumably it's some holdover from an archaic way of forming compound words. {quv} is a usual Klingon way of describing the most important of something (for instance, {vutwI' quv} "head chef"). Without the {quv}, then, {ra'ghom} suggests a command group, though not the most important commanders involved (who, in the case of the Apollo mission, are probably back in Houston). In other words, {ra'ghom} means "command" in the sense of "a group of officers exercising control over a particular group or operation".
