Mepe ((グルジア語:მეფე), (:mɛpʰɛ)) is a title used to designate the Georgian monarch,〔Georgia, Tim Burford, p15〕〔Law in Medieval Russia, Ferdinand Joseph Maria Feldbrugge, p331〕〔Etymological Dictionary of the Kartvelian Languages, Georgij A. Klimov, p120〕〔Syntactic Analysis and Description: A Constructional Approach, David Lockwood, p214〕〔Stability, Variation, and Change of Word-order Patterns Over Time, Rosanna Sornicola, Erich Poppe, Ariel Shisha-Halevy, p158〕〔Women's Movements: Networks and Debates in Post-communist Countries in the 19th and 20th Centuries, Edith Saurer, Margareth Lanzinger, Elisabeth Frysak, Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar, 2006, p65〕〔Studies in Relational Grammar, Volume 2, David M. Perlmutter, Carol G. Rosen, p276〕 whether it is a King or a Queen regnant. მეფე (''mepe'') literally means ''king'', but was used by female monarchs of Georgia as well. The word ''mepe'' is derived from Georgian word ''"me-u-pe"'' which literally means sovereign and lord. Georgian language having no grammatical gender, word ''mepe'' is strictly masculine royal title. Even though მეფე (''mepe'') has a female equivalent which is დედოფალი (''dedopali,'' literally meaning ''queen'') it is only applied to the king's consort and does not have a meaning of a ruling monarch.〔Royal Imagery in Medieval Georgia, Antony Eastmond, p109〕 An equivalent of ''Mepe'' in other cultures are King, Tsar, Shah, Khan, Sultan, Malik, Caliph, Emperor or more ancient Pharaoh. Later, after David IV official title of king has become "mepet mepe" (king of kings), similar to Persian Shahanshah. == See also == *Eristavi *Batoni *Batonishvili *Aznauri *Mtavari *List of Georgian monarchs 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mepe (title)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
