Toorak

Nabob

Toorak

Not sure that is correct - nabob refers to an Indian person of wealth/status

Question Author

That's what I thought as well.

For 2 down, 'Book of Scriptures' (5), I have Bible. It begins with a B and ends in E.

Nabob

HISTORICAL
a Muslim official or governor under the Mogul empire.

Toorak

Thank you - the definitions I saw didn’t include muslin

MattJ

Question Author

I also looked up Nabob on Google, but couldn't find any reference to Muslim.

MattJ

Question Author

So, can a Muslim official or governor under the Mogul empire, be classed as a Nobleman then ?

Toorak

Yes, I would have thought so - it was probably a high status position

Toorak

But nawab looks like a better fit?

Mamyalynne

//Nawaab, Navaab, Navab, Nowab, Nabob or Nobab, was an honorific title ratified and bestowed by the reigning Mughal emperor to semi-autonomous Muslim rulers of subdivisions or princely states in the Indian subcontinent loyal to the Mughal Empire i.e. Nawabs of Bengal.//

I'd say yes too.

Toorak

Clearly nabob and nawab are alternative spellings of the same title

MattJ

Question Author

Thank you, Toorak.

I will put Nabob in as the answer then.

Nawab doesn't fit with what I've got, the clues in the grid.

One down is clearly Bony, so that would make it n*b*b
