In modern Eevo, ''Tlaw'' (lit. "place") is used as a polite second-person pronoun for strangers or persons in positions of authority. It is still considered acceptable for some professions, such as superiors in military or at work, ~~teachers, and professors~~, to refer to their counterparts with the familiar pronouns ''fiar'' and ''swad'', although nowadays using ''tlaw'' is becoming more common. There are some unexpected (from an Anglophone perspective) situations where it is appropriate to use a pronoun.

In archaic Eevo, ''Swad'' is used as a polite pronoun for nobles or royalty. In modern Eevo (aside from intentional archaisms used e.g. in fiction or roleplaying), ''Swad'' is intermediate in formality between ''fiar'' and ''Tlaw'' - it may still be heard when an apprentice addresses their master or in universities when students address professors or when professors address students.
