I do not know what it means by Pharaoh="great house", but the below description suggests that it does not simply mean 'leader'.So do you mean to say you believe that a pharaoh was a litteral House that was greater than a common house/home dewelling? Or does the word 'House" denote a linage of strong Men/leaders?
Quote:Pharaoh, a common title of the ancient kings of Egypt, until Persian invasion. It is commonly put nakedly, like pr.n (Gen.12:15;37:36;40:2,seqq.;41:1,seqq.,and so throughout the Pentayeuch); more rarely with the addition of the words [Hebrew text] --- the chariots of Pharaoh, or made like Pharaoh's. This word properly signifies king in the Egyptian language, as was long ago observed by Josephus (Antiqu. viii. 6, 2), and in Coptic it is written pouro, from ouro ruling, king, with the sign prefixed of the m. gen., whence touro, queen, metouro, dominion (see...); it was, however, so inflected by the Hebrews that it might seem to be a Phoenicio-Shemitic word, i.q. [Hebrew text] prince (from the root [Hebrew text]), with the addition of the termination [Hebrew text].
