ObConlang. This discussion, at least, led to the discovery of 3 (or 9) new
words in Kash:
from an older form of _mambre_ 'brother' (< **marme < *már@mi)
marem ~ marenji (dim.) ~ marende (<marem+leñ 'good') term of affection
between very close male friends; marem, marenji _may_imply a sexual
relationship, marende definitely does.
similarly from a var. of suya 'sister', susa ~susaci ~susale 'idem, between
women'
and from kambra 'friend': karam ~karanji ~karande 'idem, between friends of
any gender'
