This discussion has led me to expand the kinship terms in Rihana-ye and Jases
Lalal.
For Rihana-ye, I already had:
dakoba father
dakoka mother
da child
bada son
kada daughter
febada brother
fekada sister
widakoba grandfather
widakoka grandmother
kaboba husband
baboka wife

I have now added:
wifebada uncle
wifekada aunt
difebada nephew
difekada niece

No cousin terms yet.

In Jases Lalal I already had:
babaj father
babam mother
baban son
babat daughter
jamab husband
majab wife

I have now added:
jabaj grandfather
habaj great grandfather
jabam grandmother
habam great grandmother
fabaj paternal uncle
fajam paternal aunt
fabam maternal aunt
famaj maternal uncle
faban nephew
fabat niece
jaban grandson
jabat granddaughter
jamaj husband's father
majaj wife's father
jabah male kindred
mabah female kindred

Inheritance is generally throiugh the male kindredexcept in default of male
heirs.
