| Jugān | |
|---|---|
| Stage | Middle CLT |
| Pronunciation | /dʒuˈgaːn/ |
| Part of speech | Noun |
| Etymology | from Proto jugun (Korean 주군), diverged from Jugōr — the formal/distant variant for non-owner free people |
| Later form | Jan, Jwygaen |
| Related words | Jugōr, Dāsē, dā-Jugān, mā-Jugān |
Jugān — the respectful word a slave uses to address any free person who is not their owner. Clearly related to Jugōr — the shared jū- root marks both as authority words. But the intimate -gōr is absent, replaced with the formal -gān. The missing syllable IS the point — you can hear what is not there. A slave saying Jugān is using the word that has her Jugōr's heart removed from it.
Notes
What a slave calls any free person who is not their owner. Gender-neutral default. Gendered with authority prefixes: dā-Jugān (male free person), mā-Jugān (female free person).
