| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. I, 17 | father’s sister’s husband |
| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. I, 19 | father’s sister’s husband |
aha’i’, father’s sister
| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. I, 15 | father’s sister |
| Gen. II, 30 > Gen. II, 15 | father’s sister |
| Gen. III, 37 > Gen. III, 14 | (ahaitete, father’s little sister) father’s sister |
| Gen. I, 51 > Gen. I, 28 | (aha’i’t’iti, father’s little sister) father’s sister; also Ina’t’iti parallel |

ine”, older brother of a male, parallel cousin
| Gen. II, 12 > Gen. I, 8 | older brother |
| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. I, 37 | older half brother |
| Gen. III, 12 > Gen. III, 6 | older half brother |
| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. I, 30 | father’s brother’s son. Gen. I, 30 is actually senior to Gen. I, 42; but Gen. I, 42 (White Moon) stated that he called Gen. I, 30, Haninshu’wi, older brother not because Haninshu’wi was his senior, but because Haninshu’wi’s father was senior to White Moon’s father. This is borne out by: |
| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. 1,34 | father’s brother’s son, actually younger than Gen. I, 42 father’s |
| Gen. III, 33 > Gen. III, 24 | brother’s son (inehtete) |
| Gen. II, 51, 54 > Gen. II, 50 Gen. I, 61 > (in theory) | mothers sister’s son |
| Gen. I, 55 | father’s father’s brother’s son’s son |
| Gen. II, 59>Gen. II, 57, 58 | (hanint’iti) mother’s mother’s brother’s daughter’s son |
| Gen. I, 42 > Gen. I, 51 | (hanint’iti) father’s sister’s son’s daughter. This is a theoretical application, and given dubiously, as one might expect in view of the double cross-cousinship involved. In practice the personal name is used. |
| Gen. III, 12 > Gen. III, 25 | half brother’s son’s wife |

Expressed in the nomenclature is the forked merging kinship system, collateral kin being merged with lineal and paternal and maternal collaterals in the parent generation being distinguished, through separate terms for mother’s brother and father’s sister. 1 Father’s brother is classed with father, and mother’s sister with mother. In the grandparent veneration there is no distinction between paternal and maternal kin. Parallel cousins offspring of two brothers or of two sisters are referred to by sibling terminology; but for cross-cousins, offspring of a sister and a brother, there is a distinctive term.
