How about <joHwI'> which I believe translates as "my lord". That is the
equivalent of <signore> in Italian, <se~nor> in Spanish, and <Senhor> in
Portuguese. And these, in turn, are the equivalents of "mister" in
English. Oh yeah, I just remembered "Mein Herr" in German. Wouldn't
<joHwI'> in apposition do the same?
