This application with the two preceding illustrate how the same cousin term is applied to all in a given set of geschwister, irrespective of their ages in relation to the age of the speaker. Here all are called hanin, just as all call the speaker shahat'. Had the speaker geschwister, all of them, too, would be called shahat'.
