The suffix "<i>ju</i>" is added to show respect. For example, "<i>Baa-ju</i>" means "<i>father-in-law</i>" where "<i>ju</i>" is added to "<i>Baa(father)</i>". Unlike "<i>chaa</i>", "<i>ju</i>" is not added to a first/last name directly. Instead, honorific terms like "<i>Bhaaju</i>" is added for males and "<i>Mayju</i>" for females.
