===Honorific particles===

There are a few honorific particles - mostly of Ancient Kūṣṛmāthi origin - that are used to make names or nouns honorific:

* '''spa''' makes a verb polite and is put after a verb.

* '''yoṣa''' has roughly the same function as ''spa'', but is more polite; pay attention that while ''spa'' may be used freely with same- and lower-ranked people, ''yoṣa'' in those contexts is considered excessive to the point of being insulting.

* '''īvai''' makes a verb humble, and is put after a verb, too.

* '''~~yaši~~''' ~~is an alternative to~~ ''~~spa'' and ''yoṣa~~'' but ~~always~~ used ~~with third-person verbs. It is always after personal suffixes but, in unprefixed verbs, before the voice,~~ e.g. ''~~darė yaši'' → ''darėyašite''.~~

* '''nami''' denotes respect towards the trigger of the verb. It was common in the past alongside the honorific verb ''tilah'', but today it is not used except for a few set phrases (e.g. ''lālis yacė nami'' "please").

* '''nami''~~' denotes respect towards the trigger of the verb~~.

* '''yo-''' is a prefix for things pertaining to a honourable person, often used together with a verb with '''nami'''.

* '''dau-''' is a prefix that makes nouns honorific.
