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.
