That's precisely what I intended. I have to recognize that I still have
almost all to learn; but that part I understand perfectly well as I have
read it at "Klingon for the Galactic Traveller". At this book, the author
gives a list of military ranks and explains the possible confusion about the
word /ra'wI'/ that is translated "commander" too.
What I intended was a superior officer, not a rank.
