What about including the female variety of each title?

Are we really considering that High Brecht is comparable to Greek (graf/graph)? That sounds a bit odd to say the least.

Graf is German for Count.

I'm not disputing the German, just the "Greek" High Brecht: The word comes from the High Brecht word "graph", meaning "to write", suggesting an origin as an administrative post.
Are we equating High Brecht with Greek, as we do with Old Andu and Latin?

Are there any other indications that High Brecht comes from
Greek? If it`s just the one, I think it can be put down to an
anomaly or a loanword.

imo we shouldnt be looking at greek at all for this.. a graf, (or graaf as we say in dutch) was everything but an administrative post...
imo greek and germanic languages arent even close
