Something something, the ehriraki family structure words, and the grammatical cases. These are simpler topics, so it will mostly be listing and explaining words.
Family
- ahqan - blood family
- ahqo - relationship family, those who are close to you emotionally
- peqo - parent, caretaker, verb to take care, to protect
- pekri - the one who gives birth, verb to give birth (specifies birth mother, not caretaker mother)
- pekió - the person(s) who you partner with for a long time (not specifically dating or married
*), verb to partner - mesqo - sibling, of same peqo or pekri
- peqoa - grandparent
- peqo(sa, si, se, no)a - (great, great·2, great·3, great·4)grandparent (after that, say peqonoa-peqo)
- krive - child, descendent, to descend
To talk about other family members, concatenate the words that relate them to you
- peqo-mesqo - parent's sibling (uncle)
- peqo-mesqo-krive - parent's sibling's child (cousin)
Not part of formal language: Some people shorten the more common concatenated names
- peqo-mesqo - pemqo
- peqo-mesqo-krive - pemki
- peqoa-mesqo - peqam
* Historically, most Kaihnem Ohba groups don't have the structure of a marriage; Being together for a long time, being
intimate and wanting to raise descendents are different parts of a relation that can be there or not.
