Almost all of the words you list are in TKD.

{ra'wI'} or {la'}. My opinion is that {ra'wI'} refers to anyone who is in
command, whatever his rank, and {la'} refers to the actual rank.

We don't have this one. Perhaps adding the Type 1 noun suffix {-Hom}
"diminutive" would do the trick (or else, perhaps there is no equivalent
Klingon rank): {SoghHom}
> 6.) Lieutenant
Sogh
> 7.) Lieutenant Commander
We also don't have this one. Perhaps {Sogh'a'} or maybe {la'Hom}, or maybe
there is no such rank.
> 8.) Chief
Hmmm . . . we haven't got one for this. Perhaps {chamwI'} "technician" is
what you're looking for.
Please note that the rank comes *after* the Klingon's name. (eg. {wo'rIv
Sogh} "Lieutenant Worf")
