What does OMRAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A nobleman or high officer at a Mughal or other Muslim court.
Omrah named the titled nobles who held rank and land under a Mughal emperor, roughly the equivalent of a lord at a European court. The word is the Arabic plural of amir taken into English as though it were a singular, which is why it then gets its own English plural, omrahs. Older travel writing about India and Persia uses the term often; modern histories are more likely to say noble or amir instead.
