• The leader of a house is afforded the title joH, usually translated as Lord. This title is also used to refer to his wife, translated as Lady. If the title is used along with the name, one puts the name first, as is the case with all titles: Qugh joH (Lord Kruge), ghIrIlqa' joH (Lady Grilka). When addressing the head of a house, a member of a lower class may use either the name plus joH or else joH plus -wI', the first-person possessive suffix for beings capable of language: joHwI' (my Lord, my Lady). This title also has an alternate form, jaw, which is used from time to time with no known difference in meaning or connotation, though joH is heard far more frequently. [KGT pp.40--41]
• [T]he head of a house is afforded the title joH (Lord, Lady), which, when one is addressing such a personage, may be used either after the name (as in qamor joH [~Lord Kahmor~]) or without the name if followed by the possessive suffix -wI' (my), as in joHwI' (my Lord, my Lady). [KGT p.198]
