Sayfa 30 / 788

The Polish Pan, Pani, and Panna correspond roughly to the English

Mr., Mrs., and Miss. But Pani may be used of unmarried women of

high social station; it is regularly applied to Telimena, and

once, by the reverent Gerwazy, even to little Zosia (page 320).

As an aid to the pronunciation of the minor names the following

directions may be of some service:-

Accent all names on the penult, or next to the last syllable.
