Khajiiti Honorifics Content . Southwest Elsweyr Representative to the Thalmor Have you met Headmaster Tanion ? A most polite and correct mer , who was horrified when I informed him that he ' d applied a most improper suffix to my name , instead of the appropriate " dra . " ( To spare him further embarrassment , we shall not go into details — but ask me sometime after I ' ve had a couple of glasses of tawny port . ) So it seemed like a good idea to this one to compile a list of the most common Khajiiti name - titles — at least the proper ones — for the benefit of the College of Aldmeri Propriety , and all our new allies from Summerset Isles and Valenwood . Feminine Honorifics . " - dra " is a title of respect awarded to one known for her wisdom and wit , or as a consolation to one who has achieved a venerable age . I prefer to think that , in my case , it is the former condition that applies . " - daro " is for one who has achieved excellence in the nimble manipulation of loose articles , such as small decorative objects and unattached coinage . It may also be awarded to one who is lithe of tongue . " - do " is for one who has earned renown as a warrior — usually male , but occasionally ( too occasionally , in this one ' s opinion ) a female . " - ko " is an appellation for respected healers , mages , and scholars , and is also sometimes added to the names of learned ancestors . Perhaps , once this one has passed on , her children will refer to her as " Radurra - ko " ? … Well , it is a warm thought . " - la " is an oh - so - fleeting title applied to graceful maidens who are unmarried , or behave as if they were . This one remembers fondly when she was " Radurra - la " — just last year , no ? " - ma " is for a young child of either gender , a term of endearment , except when it is shouted or snarled . Masculine Honorifics . " - dar " is perhaps the most ancient of all Khajiiti titles , an appellation earned by those who are nimble in fingers and wits , and are both inquisitive and acquisitive . I have heard that it is also sometimes applied to politicians , but such usage would surely be jocular ( and never employed by me , sweetness ! ) . " - do " is an honorific for one who has earned distinction on the field of battle or in personal duels . Beware of those strutting lions who apply the title to themselves , not waiting for others to award it . " - dro " is a title applied to wise elders , patriarchs , grandfathers , and those who walk too slowly in front of one in the marketplace . " - jo " is an appellation for respected physicians , scholars , and mages , though it is also frequently adopted by charlatans and mountebanks . I remember a handsome , dark panther in Corinthe who wanted to sell me a string of " enchanted " pearls … but that is a story for another moon . " - ra " is for an esteemed leader of soldiers , trade , or governance . A cat - ra often has a harem of kitten - las , sometimes ostentatiously so , especially if he is making up for a deficiency in his short - tail . " - ri " is a title rarely awarded , as it is reserved for great leaders of our people , Speakers , Kings , and Manes — and perhaps for a virile lover whilst wrestling amongst the pillows . Or so I have heard . This one has also heard that among the faddish youth of Alabaster , it is the fashion to place the honorific before the name , rather than after . Radurra - dra likes to be fashionable , but she fears she cannot approve of this practice , as it will tend to make Khajiiti names sound far too alike . That would be boring — and we do not wish to be boring , yes ?
