[edit] Prince?

Hi all, I was just wondering if the term Prince is correct. I mean, it might be mentioned in some English language sources, but according to the political and feudual structure of Georgia I really don't think that the term prince is right. In Georgia we say Tavadi, which is same as count. I think there is a need for a new article Tavadi, which is a Georgian noble title, because if we look at different European nations, the terminologies are different. For example, in Italy they say Graf and in Spain I think they have Juntas. However, nowadays junta has a very negative conotation in South America. SosoMK 03:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Soso. You are basically correct in that Georgian tavadi once corresponded to the European count, but after the Russian annexation the title was equated to knyaz which is normally translated into English as prince. I think current version is fairly accurate though there are no precise Western equivalents for the Georgian titles. Best, --Kober 04:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
