Since there are no Anuirean kings, except in a general sense, it seems unnecessary to throw in an additional loan word when King is such a natural Rjurik type of word. The Scandinavian versions are too similar to Brecht. Doing away with king in favor of something else means not using king at all, but adding a new word.
I don't see the point, given the circumstances.

The ruler of Aerenwe is a Queen (which to me implies that there could be a King as well). And non-human rulers are often referred to as Kings or Queens, which makes me suspect this is a title Anuireans are using to describe sovereigns that lack any other title for.
Anyway, Kung isn't more similar to König than it is to King...
Another related issue: If there isn't any difference between Anuirean/Rjruik "King", why would the Rjurik need a separate word for Emperor ("Kejsare")? They never had one, and it would make more sense if they just used the Anuirean word.

Everyone has had an emperor. Basil Zariyatam was a Vos emperor, and everyone else has generations of Anuirean emperors.
Non-humans are called kings because we don't know non-human languages. Aerenwe doesn't have a king, and the fact that in theory they might, doesn't seem like a good enough reason to add a new title for every Rjurik realm.

Hmm, maybe the "King" page could just have a reference to the language variants of "King"?
For example:
Anuirean - King
Brecht - Könung
Rjurik - Kung
