<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">The family boundaries might be quite complex. Considering the Klingon cross-cousin system it's possible that they consider <b>tey'</b> to be a part of the family and <b>lor</b> to not be. Okrand has supported this by noting that people are more close to their <b>tey'</b> than their <b>lor</b>.</div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Iikka "fergusq" Hauhio</div><div class="protonmail_signature_block" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">
