  • -ue was added for the family daimyo. [2]
  • -kun was used by persons of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status. [2]
  • -dono when attached to a name as suffux, roughly means "lord" or "master". [2]
  • -senpai was added for any colleague in one's School or military unit. [3]
  • -zeki was used for top sumō wrestlers. [4]
