Pere,
The flow chart should go, methinks, this way
----------> MELEK, king
MLK, root
----------> MALKUT, kingdom, kingship
Now, matters become befogged because we jump from one language to another and think that by mechanical translation we achieve understanding. To understand the Hebrew you need to explain to yourself what MELEK and MALKUT mean without using the English equivalents, only the root MLK.
