They don't care. The meaning of the honorific is irrelevant - all significance comes from context Cannoli Send a noteboard - 01/01/2010 06:08:40 AM
How about the usual honorific for ordinary men? Why didn't Mat like Elayne calling him "Master"? For the simple reason that it has nothing to do with any acknowledgement of superiority, any more than "Sedai" - in an entirely different language no less - conveys a sense of servitude.

No... Phelix - 31/12/2009 08:19:18 PM 499 Views
And Sedai is not a title? fionwe1987 - 31/12/2009 08:47:03 PM 582 Views
Nope, it is an honorific. Phelix - 31/12/2009 09:31:37 PM 649 Views
You're really splitting hairs... fionwe1987 - 01/01/2010 04:06:02 PM 738 Views
That's why I said I was. Phelix - 01/01/2010 06:19:22 PM 648 Views

I think we're pretty much in agreement darius_sedai - 01/01/2010 09:26:26 PM 625 Views
I'd agree with that. Phelix - 01/01/2010 10:20:52 PM 571 Views
I think it's a pride of humility thing.... Phelix - 31/12/2009 06:24:17 PM 579 Views
I think it's meant to be more like "public servant" than "household help" or "farmhand" BlackAdder - 31/12/2009 07:11:28 PM 463 Views
