gelar datuk
who held the title of Datuk


Explanation:

gelar di sini bisa ditafsirkan beberapa:

1-yang memangku gelar
2-yang memiliki gelar / bergelar
3-yang diberi / menerima gelar

✔ Terjemahan ini merujuk ke tafsiran pertama, lugas dan tanpa embel-embel.

Catatan: Bangsawan kadang menentukan sendiri gelarnya. Ingat kasus Sultan Yogyakarta yang melepas gelar khalifatullah dari gelarnya yang telah ada turun-temurun 300 tahun.
