Personal names

Female names traditionally end in -i or -(i)m, male names in -(i)n; some unisex names, particularly those newly coined, end in -i(s)

Surnames are traditionally matronymics for all females (par X, "daughter of X") and unmarried males (ra X, "son of X")

Married males traditionally have a surname indicating their wife (den X, "husband of X")

Some long-time bachelors, especially those associated with a male band, may use teked Y ("fellow of Y") as a surname
