Altairian Honorifics are optional, unlike some societies here on Earth. If you aren't sure what honorific to use, don't use one (this signifies that you don't know which one to use, no offense should be taken)
For those of you who are anime/manga fans, I've provided the Japanese equivalents, which mostly correspond to the Altairian ones with a one-to-one ratio.
| Altarian Honorific | Pronunciation | Meaning | JP Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| -cal | call | Gender-oblivious version of Mr/Ms | -san |
| -nenya | -nen-ya | Used for teachers or mentors | -sensei |
| -nymdyl | nim-dill | Implies a form of intimacy | (none) |
| -mete | met-eh | Used for young children | -chan, -kun |
| -vell | vel | Used for figures of authority | -sama |
| -voov | voov | Dishonorific: means noob/newbie or fool | -bozu |
| -zhell | zhell | One's senior (usually for children) | -sempai |
| -zhell neh | zhell neh | One's junior (usually for children) | -kohai |
| (none) | N/A |

Note that Fenyra also has it's own system for Mr/Ms/Mrs/Mx/et cetera, which similar to the American system, but makes more sense mathematically:
M[letter of partner's gender][letter of gender]
| American | Fenyran | Fenyran Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Mr | Mr | Unmarried Man |
| Ms | Ms | Unmarried Woman |
| Mx | Mt | Unmarried Person of other Gender |
| Mf | Genderfluid |
Under this system, a (traditionally) married woman is "Mrs", and a woman in a same-sex relationship would me "Mss". This can also be generalized to people with multiple partners. A person of other gender married to both a man and a woman would be "Mrst"[1].
1. In general Fenyrans frown on polygamy, although the practice is not explicitly outlawed. In addition, Fenyran tax codes provide a financial deterrent for polygamy.
