bey
A Turkish title, rather vague in its import, and commonly given to superior military officers, ship-captains, and distinguished foreigners. More strictly, it applies to the governor of a small district, who bears a horse-tail as a sign of his rank. Beglerbeg, or more correctly Beilerbegi (โlord of lordsโ), is the title given to the governor of a province who bears three horse-tails as his badge of honor, and has authority over several begs, agas, etc. -
