In Babelite, "Yodh" means "daughter" or "daughters", and this term is used to generically refer to the priestesses of the various Seven Sisters. They are generally known as the "Daughters of" the various goddesses. So, there are the Yodhinala, the Yodhsunala, the Yodhblakat, the Yodhgorphat, the Yodhrephath, the Yodhzakaro, and the Yodhbarada. "Yodhinala" would mean "Daughter(s) of Inala".

Many of the Yodh are practitioners of magic, and would be classified by the College Esoterica as either hedge wizards or sorcerers, since few of them are accredited by the Mages' Guild. However, due to special arrangement with the Babelite government, and centuries of tradition, the Yodh are exempt from persecution by the College Esoterica for practicing magic as a part of their religion. (Considerable restrictions are placed upon use of their powers outside of Babel, however.)
