[Sage]

I use Neb - specifically, Neb.y - when addressing Set.  Then again, we have a relationship where my use of "My Lord" is completely appropriate.

 
What's the significance of Neb.y vs. just Neb?

"Neb.y" is "my lord".

You beat me to it.

Opener of the Ways. I'm not trying to be pedantic here. I just want to point out that he is a god who can open *all* the ways, not just one of them.

 
I think I got it from this website, actually.

His name literally means "Opener of the Way," or more bluntly "Paths-Parter."

[Neteruhemta RaShuGeb]

Sometimes, when Set and I are in serious mode, I use "sir".

Epithets are technically the best way to go. If I'm not mistaken, Rundle Clark states that epithets were almost always what was used in antiquity. That saying the actual name (Osiris, Bast, Aset, etc) was too powerful to be used just any ol time. So epithets were almost always used instead of the actual name. YMMV, but it's something to consider, at least.
