Ok, > here is the anupallavi : > sodara mavana madhurelli madhuhita, yashoda kanda ni baro -- its from > yadava nee baa [raagam: karnataka devagandhari] sahOdari is sister, sahOdara is brother...and sOdari is the telugu version of sahOdari....but I never once, in that entire Mahabharat series, heard anyone addressing a sister with the proper honorific (eg.bhrAtAshree, mAthAshree, thAthshree...) what would the honorific be? sahOdarishree?
