N: pa~n~naayetha maataati vaa maatucchaati vaa maatulaaniiti vaa
aacariyabhariyaati vaa garuuna.m daaraati vaa.
Another option: then "mother" etc. would not be regarded as such.

There is the suffix 'ti' I like to consider. The Co. states that
mother etc. are not respected. The shameless person knows it is his
mother but he has no respect and does not regard her as such.
