Twin Bed. Al-Afandi or Efendi is a
Turkish title meaning a lord or master. It is a title of respect or
courtesy, equivalent to the English title "Sir", in Turkey and some
other Eastern countries. It follows the personal name, when it is
used, and is generally given to members of the learned professions,
and to government officials who have no higher rank, such as Bey or
Pasha. It may also indicate a definite office, as Hekim Effendi,
chief physician to The Sultan. The possessive for efendim (my
master) is used by servants and in formal intercourse.



Twin Bed. Khanom or Khan's Queen -
Consort, or in some traditions extended as a courtesy title (a bit
like lady for women not married to a lord) to the wives of holders
of various other lower titles.


Double Bed. Beik or Bey is a Turkish
title for "chieftain", traditionally applied to the leaders of small
tribal groups. In historical accounts, many Turkish, other Turkic
and Persian leaders are titles Beik, Beg, Bey, Bay or Beigh. They
are all the same word with the simple meaning of "lord". The regions
or provinces where Beys (the equivalent of duke in Europe) ruled or
which they administered were called Beylik, roughly meaning
"emirate" or principality" in the first case, "province" or
"governorate" in the second (the equivalent of duchy in Europe).
Today, the word is used as a social title for men (like the English
word "mister"), Turkish Beys.


Junior Suite/Double Bed. A title used to
denote a non-Muslim, both foreigners as well as native, Christians
and Jews.


Junior Suite/Twin Bed. Title for a civil or
military leader. An honorific for high officials used in Turkey and
certain Muslim countries.


Senior Suite/Double Bed. Wali is an administrative
title that was used during the Ottoman Empire times to designate
governors of administrative divisions. It is still in use in some
Muslim countries. The division which a Wali governs is called
"Wilayah".


Senior Suite/Double Bed. Basha or Pasha, formerly
bashaw, was a high rank in the Ottoman Empire political system,
typically granted to governors and generals. As an honorary title,
"Pasha" in one of its various ranks is equivalent to the British
title of "Lord". The Ottoman Sultan of Turkey had the right to
bestwo the title of Basha.


Presidential Suite/Twin Bed. Sultan means strength and
authority, the power behind the throne of the (theoretically
Universal) Calipha.
