Yesterday I read "The Debut of Bimbashi Joyce". I thought "Bimbashi" was=20
Joyce's first name until I read "the Bimbashi". Then I looked it up and fou=
nd=20
out it's from Turkish, and there are also yuzbashis and ombashis. I'm guess=
ing=20
that the Turkish words are translations of =CF=87=CE=B9=CE=BB=CE=B9=CE=B1=
=CF=81=CF=87=CE=BF=CF=82, =CE=B5=CE=BA=CE=B1=CF=84=CE=BF=CE=BD=CF=84=CE=B1=
=CF=81=CF=87=CE=BF=CF=82, and=20
whatever the Greeks called decurions. So I thought up ki'orja'a, ctoja'a, a=
nd=20
dekyja'a. What do you think?

I just looked up "general" in vlasisku and found several words of the form =
N-
moija'a. I think there was a proposal to take Chinese ranks and European ra=
nks=20
and mash them together to create fu'ivla. What became of those words?
