Emir

Emir is a title of nobility used in southwestern Orithea (particularly Kelimaria) and the Western Isles, roughly equivalent to a prince or arch-duke. Archaically, its meaning is less precise and may be used as a title for any chieftain, commander, or local ruler. The domain of an emir is called an emirate.
The title of emir may be the origin of the similar Suagir title of tamir or tamyr; since eastern Kelimaria runs up to the edge of the Suagir steppe, vocabulary and other cultural influences may have passed from the Kelims to the Suagirs in ages past.
