Families

Structures

• lanzu

lanzu1 is a set, not a mass. The baseline definition of lazmi'u makes this clear; it uses cmima. So:

da lanzu de di => de cmima da

lanzu3 is not clear. We will explore several standard biological concepts of family, but we are aware of the immensely polysemous and metaphorical weight placed on "family" by English.

Binary gender

• bersa: son
• bruna: brother
• mamta: mother
• mensi: sister
• patfu: father
• tixnu: daughter

Other words

Perhaps fetsi and nakni can be defined in terms of taking on various binary gender roles, since mamta/patfu need not be biological.

Non-binary gender

• dzena: elder, ancestor
• famti: aunt/uncle
• panzi: offspring
• rirni: parent
• rorci: procreation
• tamne: cousin
• tunba: sibling

Issues

Is rorci symmetric in x1 and x3? Can it be generalized in practice, x4, x5, etc. for multi-parent sexual reproduction?
