 Actually, the Egyptian word "pharoah" apparently originally meant "great 
house" (Egyptian Pr-Aa) and came to mean the lord of the royal palace, the 
god-king. Apparently it was not one of the god-king's real titles but used 
in letters to the monarch, and more importantly by the writers of Exodus. 
Personally, I really wish Greg hadn't used "pharoah" as the main title for 
Belintar.
