Hinwuine

Hinwuine, or "a being of standing," was a right given to visitors to the planet Gand to refer to themselves in the first person. Typically in Gand society, individuals only used the first person if they were someone of note. The right of hinwuine allowed visitors to speak in the first person without being considered rude or vulgar. The members of Rogue Squadron were granted hinwuine status when they attended the janwuine-jika of Ooryl Qrygg.
