As I understand it, that is correct, though bear in mind that the gender of the speaker doesn't matter when discussing the children of parents' siblings. Also, if an opposite-gender sibling's child is a {lor}, a same-gender sibling's child really should have been a {Deyta}. But I guess you can't have everything. - SapIr On Mon, Apr 17, 2017 at 02:33:54PM +0000, Terrence Donnelly wrote:
This always gives me so much trouble! Let me see if I've got this right.
So far as a {lor} is concerned, can you distill it down to the rule that the {lor} is the child of an opposite-sex sibling? your mother's brother has a {lor}, your father's sister has a {lor}, if you are a male, your sister has a {lor}, if you are female, your brother has a {lor}? This applies to children of the siblings of you or your parents.
(And {tey'} is used for the children of same-sex siblings). Correct? ter'eS
