Usage notes

The Ghean monarch likely was an absolute ruler, possibly something like a god-king. After the Ghean rule, by Late Middle Lemizh times, the word was applied to the Lemizh king, and by extension to monarchs of other countries. During Early New Lemizh times, Lemaria became a constitutional monarchy, which it remains today. Ràc. in modern contexts therefore mainly refers to representative and administrative tasks.
