While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
(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.

white-man child.

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.58 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.
_______________________________________________________
58 In the other Caddoan kinship terminologies as recorded by Morgan
there is no separate term for father's sister who is called mother (Morgan,
Table II).
