Sheik

Sheik is a term synonymous with great power, respect, and wealth, and often religion.

His father was a Sheik, or captain of a tribe of Bedouins, the real desert tribes of Arabs, who live only in tents in an oasis of the desert.

Tarzan, who, by this time, with the assistance of Abdul, had picked up quite a smattering of Arab, questioned one of the younger men who had accompanied the sheik while the latter paid his respects to Captain Gerard.

He then studied under a variety of scholars (shuyook) and institutes around the world in his quest for authentic knowledge.

When your last natural tooth goes, the time when you can kid yourself that you're a Hollywood sheik, is definitely at an end.
