View submission: Questions regarding addressing someone in Ainu
The female counterpart of *"nispa"* is *"katkemat"*. Overall Ainu has way fewer such suffixed titles than e.g. Japanese does. Other than *nispa* and *katkemat*, off the top off my head there are: tono - lord, master (loan from Japanese); ottena - (village) chief (possibly loan from Japanese); acapo - uncle, mister, older man; unarpe - aunt, missus, older woman; ekasi - grandfather, male elder; huci - grandmother, female elder; -popo - equivalent to the Japanese *"-chan"* and in Ishikari "aynu" can be used the same way as "nispa". Other than that I can't remember any other titles that can be suffixed directly to names, though there obviously may be more that I'm just forgetting.
There's nothing here!
