The feminine titles for the same classes
are the same, with the exception that
they end In “a” where the masculine
terminate with “0.” These short names
are used most commonly. In fact, they
are applied as nicknames in many
cases, and especially among the lower
classes persons are addressed or re
ferred to only by these names.
