§14.2 Kinship

Pine kinship terms describe the relationship of family members relative to ‘I’. The Pine kinship system is most similar to the Iroquoian kinship, where same-gender relatives have more specific terms than cross-gender relatives.

The same-gender relatives of one’s parents are derived from the words for mother and father – ṇummava ‘my mother’ but ṇummudda ‘my aunt (mother’s sister)’, and likewise ṇikkava ‘my father’ and ṇikkudda. Pine lacks specific terms for cross-gender relatives of one’s parents. One’s maternal uncle is therefore ỏbman dimmi ‘one’s mother’s brother’ and one’s paternal aunt is ỉkaġan mangi ‘one’s father’s sister’. Likewise, the wife or husband of a cross-gender relative of one’s parents has just a single term – įulgir means both ‘mother’s brother’s wife’ and ‘father’s sister’s husband’. First cousins through same-gender parental siblings are have specific terms: ỏdat ‘child of maternal aunt’ and iktat ‘child of paternal uncle’, but cross-gender parental siblings’ children have no specific term, they are simply įulgera biṡki ‘child of maternal uncle or paternal aunt’.

The terms for siblings only distinguish gender for siblings older than oneself, but one set of terms is used with local arguments (ġaġavi ‘my/your older brother’ and sasa ‘my/your older sister’) and the other with non-local arguments (dimmi ‘older brother (usually not mine or yours and mangi ‘older sister (usually not mine or yours)’. The term dimmi or ġaġavi means ‘older brother’ and mangi or sasa ‘older sister’, but inuġa means ‘younger sibling of the same sex’, while nanuġa means ‘younger sibling of the opposite sex’. The terms dimmuts~dimis or ġaġuts~ġaġis ‘little brother’ and manguts~mangis or sasuts~sasis ‘little sister’ are also used regardless of the gender of the person, but these should be used carefully as they imply a good deal of familiarity. The child of one’s older sister is moggir regardless of gender, and likewise the child of one’s older brother is bistut, regardless of gender. The child of one’s younger sibling is lildit, regardless of either the sibling’s or the child’s gender. Finally, silgir refers to any member of the family of a child’s wife or husband.
