Discussed by Okrand:

   The word for "husband" is {loDnal} and that for "wife" is {be'nal}.
   Though there are occasional exceptions, for the most part, neither
   of these words is used in direct address (in a sentence such as
   {loDnal HIghoS} ["Husband, come here"]) and neither of them typically
   takes the suffix of endearment {-oy} (as in {be'naloy} ["wifey"]).
   (KGT 199)
