Some common compounds include 謁見 (えっけん), which refers to having an audience with a superior; 拝謁 (はいえつ), meaning to have an audience with someone of high rank, such as the emperor; and 請謁 (せいえつ), which means to beseech for an audience. Note that 謁 is often associated with formal situations, highlighting respect and hierarchy in social interactions.
