Atjinji - A gathering of the gåz.

Gåzj - A member of society who was respected universally or nearly universally among the tinjmunj. The gåz together held meetings called atjinji, and their consensus was referred to as kojämo.

Jysjomash - A supreme judge who served as the final arbiter of law, based on the decisions of the atjinj and beholden to the approval of the gåzj.

Kadhj - Very early on, a single kadh existed as a close competitor to the jysjoma, and they probably served as equals. At some point, the kadh maintained no more than an advisory role. Its role thereafter was confined primarily to intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual pursuits.

Kojämoshw- See atjinji. Kojämoshw was originally a colloquial designation for both the meeting place and decisions of the atjinj, and later replaced the term atjinji altogether.

Tinjmash (pl. tinjmunj) - Any member of society with surplus produce or accumulated wealth. They were expected to contribute their surplus to the enforcement, maintenance, and defense of the kojämo.

Tsikläbj (collective: tsäkalibäsh) - The tsäkalibä was a class of people who did not produce any sort of surplus or possess wealth. At the beginning of society, there were few people in this class. Although originally referring to a permanent status, it was used to refer to a temporary status in which someone who owed a debt to someone or to the kojämo would work off the debt. Since most tsikläb were unable to reverse their fortunes, the term quickly reverted to a permanent status. It later expanded to include the dependents of a tinjma, and implied a responsibility for them on behalf of the tinjma.

These classes have evolved significantly today, not least due to the disappearance of Marshlandic political autonomy. The head of each local Marshlandic community is the kadh, who takes on a priestly role. The jysjoma serves as the spokesperson for the Marshlandic community as a whole, and is selected from among the kadh. Once selected, the jysjoma remains in position until his death, but retains no functional power. The gåz are the patriarchs of each family of a local community and act as intermediaries between their families and the kadh. The Kojämo is a codified set of regulations largely defunct in authority, but remain venerated as a source of respectable behavior and social norms within the community.

The distinction between tinjma and tsikläb now refers to a distinction between adulthood and childhood. Just prior to modern times, all young men were expected to join the tsäkalibä, a corps of civil servants. Civil servants either served as warriors or apprenticed in a trade or profession, ultimately under the guidance and direction of the kadh. After completing tsäkalibä, they would be considered full participants in society, or tinjmunj. Today, tsäkalibä has been reduced to a rite of passage whose rituals vary by community.
