I'm a bit fuzzy on Moslem titles and ranks....I think these are
correct but would be only mildly surprised to find out I'm mistaken:
Kaliph is the religious head.
Sultan is the Protector of the Kaliph, similar to Shogun.
Amir is a provincial ruler.
Sheikh is a clan leader.

"Malik" is "king" as I recall, and I think "Atabeg" would be the
regent for a royal prince--but they're probably Turkish instead of
Arabic.
"Shah" is "ruler" or "king" but is Farsi (Persian).

Suggestions?
