Existence checks before building: name greps for Ahmad Yar across data/person on origin/main returned only Ahmad Yar Khan Daultana and Ahmad Yar Khan Naimi, different men, and the QID Q22003023 grep returned no hit. No relations are written: the parent pair with his father is written once, in his father's record; his sons — among them the titular successor Suleman Dawood Jan — have no person records, and the khanate succession is an office, not a relation. No place edges are written: Kalat and Loralai have no place entities.",
