Meeting and Greeting in Sekiya, Day 2

Is there a difference between the greeting offered to an equal and that offered to a superior or inferior? Between that offered a man or a woman? (cf. the various levels of curtsey) Between that offered a human vs. a non-human?

When greeting an equal or inferior, you use the person's name if you know it (or just "Sir" or "Lady" if you don't) When greeting a superior, you usually greet them using their title (eg. Galia would be greeted with "Lady Seer", for example) If you know a superior very well, then using their title and name is okay (so Miresa, Bradlin, and Arune will call her "Lady Galia")

There are no differences between greeting genders or races
