Re: Words for family groups

>It's not quite the same I know, but Old Norse had the word 'fe=F0gar'
for a man and his son as a team. Like other similar terms, it could be
used in apposition to a name: 'L=E9ifr fe=F0gar' means 'Leif and his
father.'


Japanese has 'oyako' to mean 'father and son'. Strictly speaking, teh kan=
ji
mean 'parent' and 'child', but natural languages always seem to be
male-dominant for some reason.

'saotome oyako' would mean 'the father and the son from the saotome famil=
y'.
