When formally addressing people, most speakers use nominative ''pella'' and accusative ''pellêro'', derived from [[Proto-Yeldhic]] ''*ble'' "group of", making it cognate with [[Moshurian]] {{cont|bzenë|y}}. However, alternative forms of ''pella''/''pellêro'' exist, namely ''tsipella'' and ''tsipellêro'', though these are ~~generally~~ considered archaic and are only generally seen in old literature.

====T-V distinction====

Etzeá employs a very specific T-V distinction, where the T(''o'' and ''ôe'') is only used among friends one knows very well, and in almost all other cases the V(''tsus'' and ''pella'') are used, including to one's own family. This has led to some linguists classifying the Etzeá T as a [[w:Profanity|profanity]], though this is a dubious claim, as there are no known harsh social consequences and the use of the T is not discouraged in the right contexts.<ref>Additionally, most of the linguists that support this claim are of [[Moshurian]] origin, which has no T-V distinction, hence the possible confusion.</ref>
