Hiligaynon (Ilongo) kinship terms (long)

I thought this might be of interest to both lists as it has cultural as
well as linguistic interest. The following terms are in Hiligaynon (AKA
Ilongo), which is spoken on the Island of Panay in the province of Capiz
in the Philippines (this is what my grandmother's side of the family
speaks).

- terms specify sex, not age, and can be used for foster or legal parents,
