Line 8:
* [[Agha (Ottoman Empire)|Agha]]s were commanders of the different branches of the military services, like "azap agha", "besli agha", "janissary agha", for the commanders of azaps, beslis, and janissaries, respectively. This designation was given to commanders of smaller military units, too, for instance the "bölük agha", and the "ocak agha", the commanders of a "bölük" ([[Company (military)|company]]) and an "ocak" (troops) respectively.
* [[Boluk-bashi]] was a commander of a "bölük", equivalent with the rank of [[Captain (land)|captain]].
* [[Chorbaji]] (Turkish for "soup server") was a commander of an orta ([[regiment]]), approximately corresponding to the rank of [[colonel]] ({{lang-langx|tr|Albay}}) today. In seafaring, the term was in use for the boss of a ship's crew, a role similar to that of [[boatswain]].
