Babsk

Babsk is a title given to a Thaylen merchant who teaches another the skills of mercantile enterprise in the form of an apprenticeship. However, the term 'babsk' isn't reserved exclusively for merchants.Book signing, Omaha, NE, 3/13/14
That said, during the apprenticeship, the babsk retains the same legal right as fathers, until such time as s/he decides the apprentice is ready to become a merchant on her/his own. It's been hinted that some babsks exploit this relationship.
