"Zeyaslamalamadingdongrids"??? What? -- 69.168.113.42 22:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Can anyone help to enlighten me? I did the translation of this article into Traditional Chinese early last year. I'm now working on the editing. I'm really curious. Thanks for your kind attention. ThomasYehYeh ( talk) 12:05, 31 August 2021 (UTC) reply

No reason other than they seem to share the same name. Ziyaran is basically the Persian way of saying Ziyarid. I've removed it. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 12:08, 31 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Thank you. Are you familiar with Persian language? If so, I may check with you from time to time if I endounter some that may arouse my curiosity. I've translated about 40 articles about Iran's history since late 2019. ThomasYehYeh ( talk) 12:53, 31 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Well, kinda. I can speak the language but I can't understand the alphabet. But feel free to ask if there's anything you think I might be able to help with. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 13:43, 31 August 2021 (UTC) reply

I happened to find the meaning of [Rukn al-Dawla] mentioned in "In 948 Hasan (who since the Buyids' entrance into Baghdad in 945 had used the title [Rukn al-Dawla]", which is [Pillar of the State]. Can anybody help explain the meaning of the title of [Zahir al-Dawla]? Thanks. ThomasYehYeh ( talk) 02:00, 1 September 2021 (UTC) reply

ThomasYehYeh: "Zahir" in Arabic means supporter and helper. So the phrase means "helper of the State". "Zahir al-Doulah" was the nickname of Bistun.

The nickname of Qaboos is "Shams al-Ma'ali", the nickname of Manouchehr is "Falak al-Ma'ali", the nickname of Anoushirvan is "Sharaf al-Ma'ali", and the nickname of Kikavus is "Unsor al-Ma'ali". which respectively means "the rank of the sun", "the rank of the sky", "the rank of the honorable", and "the rank of the element".
