Collonnadda and Wetterae:
Peerages are hereditary down the jaha (male) line.
Kait (children) do not come into their inheritance until they have passed through nänhauet (puberty) and become adults.
Sons (jaha) take courtesy titles starting with the Heir (one rank down) in sequence.
Daughters (teha) do not inherit titles - they can gain a title only through twining (marriage). A wife automatically takes as her title one rank below her husband. The one odd exception is the title for the wife of either of the two Wetterae Serena who are accorded the title S'Conta, which of course is Tuassenet. This is because the High Wetterae Council decided the Primarl (of which there is just one) can only be Jaha.
Tuassenet: Peers (jaha, teha, lam) are elected (for life).
Widows of peers (of any tianz) gain an extra honorific - Tehakala (dowager), irrespective of whether or not the heir to her husband's title has twined.
