Pu Lalthanhawla ?[edit]

@Chhandama: Sometimes you can read Pu Lalthanhawla (or Pu Lal Thanhawla). Is "Pu" a given name or is it simply a kind of address? --Furfur^{⁂ Diskussion} 19:25, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Pu" is only a title as in "Mr." and not a part of a name. Among the Mizo people, it is used as a courtesy to any older man. For women, it is "Pi" (=Mrs.). Chhandama (talk) 07:41, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chhandama, thank you very much for this information. An article now exists also in de.wikipedia (initially with, but now without "Pu"). --Furfur^{⁂ Diskussion} 18:50, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
