Re: You have a word for it?

There's also:
laa-/la- "unit of", for example, pitaklu "sand", pilaataklu "grain of
    sand"
-kan: Child of; product of.  For example, Dikau "Goddess", Dikaukan
    "Goddess-child; angel"; pitaklu "sand", pitaklan (cont. of
    pitakluklan < pitaklukan) "glass"; Uadlikan "fire", pidlikankan
    "ash" (with a change of gender)
Sutaitla: Very good friend, a person with whom you clicked immediately,
    with whom you felt an immediate connection.  The Kassi believe that
    everyone has two souls, and that upon death, those two souls are
    split up, and reincarnated into different bodies, being united with
    different souls.  A _sutaitla_ is a person of whom it is believed
    that, in a previous life, one of his souls and one of your souls
    shared a body.  The word is derived from tai- "person associated
    with" plus tla "soul" (by itself, somewhat archaic).  It's rather
    like the English concepts of "best friend" and "soulmate"

Also, in post-Classical times, sunistuu (person of the same village) was
used metaphorically for a person with common interests
