It seems I've chosen a completely incorrect word. It's so difficult even with a dictionary. I mean people like marshall (<marszal~ek>), chancellor (<kanclerz>), commander-in-chief (<hetman>), Treasurer (<podskarbi>), etc. Some of them by the time of "Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów" were only titular like Lord High Steward (<podstoli>). But the parliaments (<Sejm> and <Senat>) were common. -- Lukasz K. -- Tego nie znajdziesz w żadnym sklepie! [ http://oferty.onet.pl ]
