FAMILY - WATER-ESE

This is the first part of a series about family names, answering this question:

“What are family members called in each language, like Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Cousin, Aunt, Uncle, Grandmother, Grandfather, and so on?” ~ Anonymous

I though it was too big for a single post.

The word for family is ‘Naya’. Your immediate family is ‘nayahahu’ (family+near) and it also means household. ‘Nayanunu’ is your extended family (family+far) and your ancestry is ‘nayakone’ (family+past).

(Note: ‘hahu’ is ‘nanu’ in Southern Water-ese. In Northern Water-ese, ‘hahu’ changes to ‘hahaw’, ‘nunu’ changes to ‘nawnaw’, and ‘-kone’ changes to ‘-kon’)

The remaining family words are all derived from the following:

Mother – (-n)Nan Southern: ‘Gran’

Father – Tak

Sister – Gik Northern: ‘Giq’

Younger brother – Vahn Northern: ‘Fahn’ | Southern: ‘Van’

Older brother – Vah Northern: ‘Fah’ | Southern: ‘Va’

Daughter – Tahn Southern: ‘Tan’

Son – Sham Northern: ‘San’

Husband – Zha Northern: ‘Sa’

Wife – Zho Northern: ‘So’

The word for ‘fiancee’ literally means ‘something that is promised’. Promise is ‘Yakmu’. You remove the ‘-u’ and replace it with the ending of the female 3rd-person pronoun, ‘(t)on’ so it’s ‘Yakmon’ and then you add the ‘-kes’ suffix. This turns the verb into a noun which means someone/something that does the verb. Therefore, ‘Yakmonkes’. This word only refers to women. Southern: ‘Yakmoonke’

From here you simply combine them.

The mother of your mother (your grandmother) is ‘Nannan’ or ‘Grangran’.

The husband of the sister of your father (your uncle) is ‘Sagiqtak’ or ‘Zhagiktak’.

The son of a sister of a father of your mother (your first-cousin once-removed) is ‘Sangiqtaknan’ or ‘Shamgiktakgran’.

Et cetera, et cetera.

Another fun thing is the word for ‘twin’. It is ‘(sister/older.brother/younger.brother)+mirror’ or ‘(gik/vah/vahn)+marka’

Twin sister - ‘Giqmarka’ or ‘Gikmorka’

Older twin brother - ‘Fahmarka’ or ‘Vamorka’

Younger twin brother - ‘Fahnmarka’ or ‘Vanmorka’

If they’re non-identical twins you can add ‘-nik’ (not) to the end so you have a non-mirroring sibling. If they’re triplets you add ‘-roon’ (another). If you have more than three then you keep adding ‘-roon’.

Just a little note: The in-universe reason for there being a separate word for ‘older brother’ and ‘younger brother’ but not with ‘sister’ is a quirk of the language from the Water Tribe’s history with sexism but on a meta level, it’s because I myself have a twin sister and I shall never admit she is older, even in a conlang ;)
