Notes
Attached to a term of address to mark it as the speaker’s own. Moejor is one’s own owner as against any owner, and is among the most frequently spoken words in the language.
Stacks with the gender prefixes, which produces Moedajor and Moemajor, or moe da-Jwygor in the formal register. An owner may require the gendered form of his own slaves, and neither choice is looked down on.
