ELVES (additional to Coronal, etc.):
[[The following terms aren’t used in every elven realm or community.]]
The mayor or ‘chief of police and defense’ of a community is a DESMRAR (DESMRIL if female) (“DEZZ-mrar” or “DEZZ-mrill”)
A far-traveled, experienced elf who knows or remembers a lot, and can impart it (humans might use the term ‘sage,’ but that often implies book-learning and deduction, whereas the elves mean someone who’s seen with their own eyes, and only augments their own experience with what they’ve learned from others) is often, regardless of gender, called an ALANTAR (“Al-LAN-tar”)
A war leader (unit commander) or mission leader is sometimes called a TELEGAUNT (“TELL-eh-gont”), regardless of gender, but this term is usually used only if the individual is a veteran of proven merit
A SHEE (in some places, “SHREE”) was a wise female elder, strong in magic (in some cases, High Magic specifically; this is a corruption of the very old Elven word VELARSHEE) (“Ssh-EE” or “Shh-REE”)
Finally, IYILITAR (“ILL-i-tar”) was a unigender equivalent to Coronal in elder days, but is nigh-forgotten today

King/Queen and Lord/Lady are commonly used by the elves (i.e., Queen
Amlaruil).

Also, from the _Cormanthyr: Empire of the Elves supplement_:
"None of the local rulers can claim the title of Coronal....but they
have a variety of titles; the most common among the smaller colonies is
the use of the settlement name or clan name as the ruler's title (i.e.,
"the Alusiil of Alusiil Grove," or "the Vispasial of Clan Vispasial, ruler
of Bhaasoraen").

And, from the footnotes in Krash's excellent Timeline of the North:
The term "Laranla" ("Laranlor" in the masculine) is translated as
"Regal Lady/Lord" and denotes a queen/king of a vassal or minor elven
realm where its ruler does not warrant the term "Coronal".

I could also see them using informal titles such as "Lord Speaker" or
"Revered Elder."

Hope that helps,
