Kuwaiti ruler (4)

I believe the answer is:

emir

'kuwaiti ruler' 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 ruler stuck in mire" , "Arab prince" , "Eastern ruler in mire" , "Middle-Eastern ruler" , "Arabic ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the LA Times and The New York Times.
