{gzb} has a few basic affective suffixes, which can be applied to the
(very minimalist) pronouns as to any other kind of word.

-kxa    respect, worship
-hqa    disgust; like Esperanto fi- or -acx-
-la             love, affection; like Esperanto -cxj- and -nj-
-ba             ambivalence

So:

tq-kxa          "your worship"
tq-la           "my dear"
