C-an Royalty



I finally filled in an unforgivable hole in C-an
vocabulary.  I have titles for the nobility!

That's what I have for now.  Most of them are
straightforward enough, since they are borrowings from
either French of Italian or one influenced by the
other imported by the Nomans.  Melechi, etc. is the
title for the secular head of the Muslim community and
equivalent to a duke.  Mayor is the odd one since it
is derived from the Punic term "sufetes" or judges of
which two headed the civil government of the city of
Carthage *here*.
