One who fugles; a person who leads or directs, especially in military contexts.
Formed from 'fugle' plus the -er suffix, creating an agent noun for someone who performs the action of fugling.
A variant of 'fugleman,' this form appears in older texts and emphasizes the person doing the fugling—the active leader demonstrating movements to others.
Variant of 'fugleman'; carries the same masculine historical framing rooted in military rank structures where leadership positions were formally restricted to men.
Replace with 'drill leader', 'formation guide', or 'drill instructor' to describe the functional role without gendered language.
