Once again not trying to cause controversy, just using simple logic. First off if you are going to stick with sangheili, it should be the second word, as the correct term would be "Major Sangheili", because only grunts have their rank second. | Once again not trying to cause controversy, just using simple logic.

Second, why are we mixing english with the sangheili language? Major is an english word, and this wiki is all over the place on so called "correct terms" and whatnot. | Second, why are we mixing english with the sangheili language? Major is an english word, and this wiki is all over the place on so called "correct terms" and whatnot. We have an article called "Special Operations Elite", and "Sangheili Major". We need some sort of unity. And mixing english with elitish makes no sense, so I suggest naming the article "Major Elite". --[[User:Justin Time|Justin Time]] 08:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC) | ||
I see your point, but I think all Elite articles must be moved to Sangheili (whatever you spell it), since Elite is not their "real" name, but are formally addressed as the Sangheili. BTW, at least name it the Elite Major Domo. --[[user:Blemo|Blemo]] | I see your point, but I think all Elite articles must be moved to Sangheili (whatever you spell it), since Elite is not their "real" name, but are formally addressed as the Sangheili.

Where in the book does it say that minors and majors are actually minor domos and major homos I mean domos?

They are higher than SpecOps. | They are higher than SpecOps. And they do hold the right to bear Energy Swords. As scene on the level Floodgate where he has it as his secondary weapon. Also Majors have been scene leading SpecOps twice. Once in Quarantine Zone to lead the reinforcements described as Vadum's "Best troops." The second in Floodgate when he briefs the Arbiter.

Isn't it possible that the Elite ranks were a little....jumbled after they defected from the Covenant? The Prophets were no longer in command of them, they had to follow standard UNSC laws. Also, I shot down a minor on the Covenant, on easy difficulty, and he dropped a sword with 81 charge. So having swords doesn't prove anything. SpecOps are also more effecient at greande throwing, better with PR and swords, and also have stronger shields. | Isn't it possible that the Elite ranks were a little....jumbled after they defected from the Covenant?

Why are the major elites equivalent to lieutenants but their name sake is major which sounds better because it obviously says MAJOR. Did Bungie say that's their equivalent or some random guess on here. I personally think they are actual majors[[Special:Contributions/76.94.173.73|76.94.173.73]] 00:17, August 20, 2010 (UTC) | Why are the major elites equivalent to lieutenants but their name sake is major which sounds better because it obviously says MAJOR.

Major doesn't mean Major in the human sense, there's Minors, and Majors = lower, and higher. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 15:05, August 20, 2010 (UTC) | |||
