Unfortunately in all Slavic languages the word that means count derives from German "graf".
Boyars were second only to ruling princes, so that would make them dukes.
Also wasn't "kъnędzь" used a bit later than "kǔningǔ"? You know, proto-Germanic kuningaz -> early proto-Slavic kǔningǔ -> late proto-Slavic kъnędzь

I have no idea, my dictionary says "kъnędzь", from "kuningaz", and doesn't go any earlier, may be.
Was "gospodar" used anywhere but Moldavia/Valachia? In Russia there was a term gosudar', but it's not a title per se.
 
It was used in Lithuania to XVI century as a title to describe a person ruling over princes, the last ruler who did so was Sigismund Waza.
