Commander, in Arabic (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emir

'commander in arabic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for emir that I've seen before include "Muslim chief" , "Middle Eastern ruler" , "Islamic title" , "Muslim ruler stuck in mire" , "leader in the East" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
