Looking for a gender neutral synonym for Master

[denuseri]

Well in japanese San has different meanings depending on the context but in general in so far as being used as a hierarchal refrence of respect it is colloquialy known as the equivelant to both Mr or Mrs or Ms. Since its not used alone in that regard its a gender nuetral sufix attached to a gender specific personal noun (ussually the clan name preceeding it in formal situations).

Additonally one uses a whole different sufix depending upon ones station in comparrison to the station of who is being addressed.

San is commonly used between people of equal station. Sama is used to address those above one's self. And Chan is used to address those whom one has a colloquial relationship who are beneath ones self...such as ones children.
