The suggestion is that the -absu <extinct or retired Patron> can [and must] be dropped unless this is the Patron or the Grandpatron. BTW, I think we need some nomenclature. _The_ Patron is the race that Uplifted that species. _A_ Patron is any race in the Chain of Uplift. _The_ Grandpatron, a grandpatron, the grand-grandpatron, etc are obvious.
