A temporary-hereditary title becomes permanent if an unbroken chain of 4 consecutive generations hold the title. This is achieved if children of a Broga III or Broga II are rewarded with a title that resets their title back to a higher number, this providing the family with a claim to permanent nobility. An individual who is able to demonstrate that their parent, grandparent and great-grandparent held a title of oora is then effectively ennobled permanently.

Temporary-hereditary titles have been a feature of [[Hogloh by Aanua]] from the start, possibly originating in [[Western Dantrian civilization|Western Dantria]], and exact reasoning behind the invention is unknown. Throughout history various explanations have been produced. Some believe that such limited inheritance limits the expansion of nobility and helps further reduce social mobility, which might be desired by the ruling class. Another argument makes the observation that such limited access to nobility motivates temporary ooron to be more useful to the gole, since they are eager to earn a permanent ennoblement for their family.

The standing of temporary nobles, while might expected to be lower to that of "true nobles", is frequently offset by their achievements: it takes a lot to receive even a Broga I title as a reward, which gives one's children no access to nobility. So, someone receiving a Broga III would be very famous and powerful, possibly making their children famous and powerful as well. Even children of a person holding a Broga I title would be better off than most others of their social class, and frequently would find ways of either marrying into a noble family or at least serving important nobles and thus gaining the possibility of attaining lower noble classes or even simply wealth.
