dear Patrick - thanks for your very helpful information.  I hadn't  
connected Manju morliambi with morilox, thanks for the link (which  
now seems very clear to me).

But is the -guai ending really any more respectful than our Mr?  I  
suspect in fact not.  Although I guess Mr (<master?) is a kind of old  
old honorific marker.

But your Mongolian seems way sharper than mine so I deferentially bow  
to you.
