you are correct Teodor
it's what happens in Egypt in nowadays, for instance
when we want to honor some one,
we give him the title of "Pacha" or "Bey"
now the question might be ; in XIX century,
what have been the habits into the Turkish civilian life ?? 
might be no "joke" with title
the matter was too serious & sensitive ??
