LEARN SOMETHING...NEGUS....

Negus (Ge'ez Negus Ge'ez.png, nigūś, Amharic nigūs; cf. Tigrinya ነጋሲ negāsi) is a title in the Afro-Asiatic Ge'ez, Tigrinya, Tigre and Amharic languages.[1] It denotes a King,[2] as the Bahri Negasi of the Medri Bahri Kingdom in pre-1890 Eritrea and the Negus in pre-1974 Ethiopia. 

The title has subsequently been used to translate the word "King" in Biblical and other literature.
