I'm not sure why but this comes off as a little hostile. I asked for specific terminology and general mannerisms was all, I'm well aware they have their own everything... I wasn't asking for their entire lore to be explained.

But then as said above, they have their own culture yes. They don't believe especially in kami, since their beliefs is about the duality of the Dawn Father and the Dusk Mother.
I see, so if one of them came across a primal, they'd more or less see it as just another monster of beast then? Not particularly any title or naming? I figured even the Xaela would recognize what a primal is or have a particular name for them. Wasn't sure if they carried over the eastern culture of bowing the same way but ty for clarifying on that.

The way and context they use it is more aligned with the RL Shinto view of kami: nature spirits in their surroundings and day-to-day lives. The Oronir tribe directly worship the sun god Azim and claim to be his descendants (similar to RL Japan and their emperor), while the Kagon worship the moon goddess Nhaama.
Bear in mind that Othard is a big continent with yet-unexplored locations and customs, such as Dalmasca. It's not all a Japan / Asia analogue. A quest line in the Azim Steppe deals with a Kugane merchant coming to Reunion with zero knowledge of their ways and customs, and having to learn them. The Xaela tribes took inspiration from ancient Mongolian tribes, so you'll want to read up on them for further comparison.
I wasn't actually asking about their gods or the Mol's beliefs or Xaelas.. moreo-so just some basic habits of xaela all around in regards to "primals" specifically and the proper greeting used in game. The 2nd paragraph is exactly why I asked; it's a big continent, mostly japan asia inspired so I wasn't 100% sure on some customs. I should do that quest, I saw it once and didn't get to do it, shouldn't have blown it off.
