 Temporary-hereditary titles have been a feature of [[Hogloh vy 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.
+In practice, temporary-hereditary titles are usually granted to commoners when the gole wishes to make them a prime, which is a high nobility title applied to members of the royal household. A rank of prime requires the person to hold an oora title to begin with. In these cases the gole first ennobles the commoner with a temporary-hereditary title, usually a broga, and then elevates them to a Prime.
 [[Soseeroh Mlogoh]], for example, was the Grand Prime of the Chamber under [[Modosoh Dolysoh]]. She was considered to be the most powerful courtier of her time, but she held a mere Broga I title. Nevertheless, she was feared and respected by other ooron.

 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.

 Oora titles are hereditary and rank immediately below royalty, enjoying a higher social status than the rest of the classes. Tarnarian hereditary tradition lacks gender preference and titles are typically inherited regardless of the gender of offspring. However, while some titles are permanently-hereditary, a whole class of titles are only temporarily-hereditary and there exists a complex set of rules that regulates the proper movement of titles along the lineage.
