Mamluk ( Arabic : مملوك mamlūk (singular), مماليك mamālīk (plural), meaning "owned"; also transliterated as mamlouk , mamluq , mamluke , mameluk , mameluke , mamaluke or marmeluke ) is an Arabic designation for slave soldiers. More specifically, it refers to a military caste in medieval Egypt that rose from the ranks of slave soldiers who were mainly of Kipchak Turkish , [ 1 ] Circassian and Georgian [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] origins. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The "mamluk phenomenon", as David Ayalon dubbed the creation of the specific warrior class, [ 8 ] was of great political importance and was extraordinarily long-lived, lasting from the 9th to the 19th century AD. Over time, mamluks became a powerful military caste in various Muslim societies. Particularly in Egypt , but also in the Levant , Iraq , and India , mamluks held political and military power. In some cases, they attained the rank of sultan , while in others they held regional power as amirs or beys .

Elohim
Elohim ( אֱלֹהִ֔ים ) is a grammatically singular or plural noun for "god" or "gods" in both modern and ancient Hebrew language . When used with singular verbs and adjectives elohim is usually singular, "god" or especially, the God . When used with plural verbs and adjectives elohim is usually plural, "gods" or "powers".

Facsimile of the title page of the quarto version of Much adoe about Nothing Much Ado About Nothing is a comedic play by William Shakespeare about two pairs of lovers, Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero. Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a very "merry war"; they are both very glib and proclaim their scorn for love, marriage, and each other. In contrast, Claudio and Hero are sweet young people who are rendered practically speechless by their love for one another. By means of "noting" (which sounds the same as "nothing," and which is gossip, rumour, and overhearing), Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other, and Claudio is tricked into rejecting Hero at the altar. However, Dogberry, a Constable who is a master of malapropisms , discovers the evil trickery of the villain, Don John.
