Pa'u

Pa'u is a title used in the 1999-2003 science fiction television series Farscape. It refers to the spiritual leaders of the alien race known as the Delvians. It's Earth equivilant would be akin to Father for Catholic priests or Sister for Catholic nuns. A Delvian priest always seeks spiritual enlightenment and harmony and worships an ethereal being referred to as the Goddess of the Delvian Seek. On Farscape, one of the main characters from the first three seasons, Zotoh Zhaan, was a Delvian priest and introduced herself as Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan (the greeting was often accompanied by a symbolic hand gesture). The thirteenth episode of season one, "Rhapsody in Blue" introduced other members of the Delvian race, all of whom were Pa'u.
