On the other hand, consider this from KGT (p. 53):
Finally, a student may be described as a {mangHom} ("cadet"), but
{mangHom} is not an official title. One should not say, for example,
{qImlaq mangHom} ("Cadet K'mlak").
So I'm not sure whether nouns can automatically be used as titles.

Given that it's the "opposite" of {puq} "child", I had always assumed
that it referred to anyone older.
