Beylical

/beɪˈlɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of a bey, a beydom, or Ottoman administrative authority.

Etymology

From 'beylic' plus the adjectival suffix '-al,' creating a variant form emphasizing relation to bey authority.

Kelly Says

Sometimes English adds multiple suffixes to emphasize meaning—'beylical' is the extra-formal way to say 'of or relating to a bey's power.'
