Sayyid Hassan Safavi was my mother's (i.e., Malekeh Agha Safavi's) guardian for much of her youth.

I called him: Dāyee Hassan.
(Which basically means “Uncle Hassan” in the . Although “Dayee” means “maternal uncle”. There's a different word for “paternal uncle” — “amu”. So "dāyee" conveys a little more information than the English word "uncle".)
