Note 371 — KING MOHAMMED BIN SABAIK AND THE MERCHANT HASAN.
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Khátún, which follows the name (e.g. Hurmat Khatun), in India corresponds with the male title Khan, taken by the Pathán Moslems (e.g. Pír Khán). Khánum is the affix to the Moghul or Tartar nobility, the men assuming a double designation e.g. Mirza Abdallah Beg. See Oriental collections (Ouseley’s) vol. i. 97.
