Has anyone discovered in his or her conlang the use of honorifics or
of titles of honor/respect?

I've discovered 3 so far in Senyecan.

1) aasnárjun - title of respect used to address someone higher in
rank than the speaker.  áásnin = noble; árjun = lord.

2) àisnáman (àisápan) - title of respect used to address
someone
older than the speaker.  aísa = to revere; aísnin = revered,
reverend. (shades of "Dune"?)

3)cuudáman (cuudápan) - title of respect used to address an
older
person irrespective of any age difference.  cúúda = to esteem,
regard, respect, approve, admire; cúúdin = respected, admired,
esteemed, etc..
