Or is it part of his name? It is closer to being equivilent to Mr., Mrs., etc. It is sort of a politeness suffix applied to names. $B$5$s(B(san) is a nice fairly neutral one. There are others indicating more familiarity with or more humbleness in relation to the person, and of course titles can be used. One never (well almost never) uses these suffixes when referring to onesself. -- Michael Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu) --=-=-=--
