'''Babsk''' (plural ''babsk''{{book ref|twok|i|4}}) is a term for a teacher or master in [[Thaylenah]]. Legally, a babsk is father to their apprentices as long as the apprenticeship lasts. Their apprentices follow them around, assisting them with their trade, and learning from them. [[Vstim]], [[Rysn]]'s babsk, is kind to her and wants to teach her how to be a good merchant, but not all babsk are, and it is unknown whether this is a common behavior.{{book ref|twok|i|4}} [[Rysn]]'s full name appears to be Rysn Ftori bah-Vstim; it is unclear if this is a personal sign of respect or if all Thaylen apprentice merchants append their babsk's name.▼
