You're right, of course. It should indeed be {Qob la'}. I find myself caught
between two worlds, though, and sometimes have trouble switching tracks.
Because most fandom groups have adopted the John M. Ford/FASA system of (rank
name honorific-surname), I have a such a name, which is the one I primarily
use. For the List, I really ought to think of myself as {Qob la'}... but I
often don't, in large part because I don't know what to do with my sutai-
honorific.
