Oh also Abh tend to address each other by full names, which include family name and title/social position. So Lafiel is actually Abriel [family name, the royal family] Ne Dobrusc [of the Dobrusc line] Boeurh Paryunu [viscountess of Paryunu, "the country of roses"] Lafiel, Deca Commander [military rank, lit. commander of twenty, which is the crew of an Abh destroyer], Acting Empress [since she's the only living Abriel].

Obviously she's rather uncomfortable using people's first names and will avoid it whenever possible.
