Unkiar Tchokadar : valet de pied du sultan
sultan's footman

Hünkâr = Sultan's.
Çuhadars, who are called by this name because they wear clothes made of woolen cloth, are among the palace servants. They were separated according to their services such as regiment çuhadar, messenger çuhadar, and sultan çuhadar. The guard walking on the right side of the sultan's horse was called the chief çuhadar.
