I really need to work on the C-an peerage. I have a word for king and one for queen, but beyond that nothing exists! I need dukes, and counts, and all manner of frippity-fraps! Somewhere at home I have a list of all the grades of nobility in all the major (and some minor) European languages. I need to find that and then decide how many of the terms may be borrowed from Norman French, how amny will be home grown, what influence Sicilian may have, which if any will be borrowed from Arabic, et cetera and so forth, on and on, ad infinitum.
