This may be my favorite explanation yet. A <HI'> uses his absolute power t=
o run the country. A <HI''a'> uses his absolute power to go a step further=
and control the people. Since dictators almost always need to exert some =
amount of control over their objectors=2C whether a leader gets called <HI'=

label. In this way it seems to very closely mirror the English terms "dict=
ator" and "tyrant".
