Pamela Bronson
Pamela Bronson asked Mitali Perkins:

I just read Bamboo People and I love it. I'm telling others to read it, too. Please tell me, in "Daw Widow", is widow the English noun or is it her name? Does Daw mean "Aunt"?

Mitali Perkins Hi, Pamela! So glad you like the book. “Widow” is the English noun. “Daw” is a term of respect for older women. All the best, Mitali.
