More that I have for Kerno! (I've only got emir and king). I like how there is a distinction between reigning empress and empress who is wife of a reigning emperor. I take it there is no reverse distinction?
Japan has _tennou_ for the occupant of the Chrysanthemum Throne, whether male or female, and _kougou_ for the wife of the Emperor. No term for the husband of a female _tennou_, though, as historically there haven't been any married women on the throne.
