like centon
I think the terms Sire and Siress were some of those words that had no consistent meaning, the way centon seems to be bandied about.
In Saga, Uri is a member of Council, and is called Sire Uri, but Apollo refers to his wife as Siress Uri.
In Baltar's Escape, the female member of Council is Siress Tinia. But in Man with Nine Lives, Chameleon's lady friend is Siress Blassie. She's not on Council, but she seems to be a member of the gentry.
****
In Saga, a child calls Apollo "Mister." Chameleon calls Cassiopeia "Miss."
