Another kinship problem?



Hello from a longtime fan of Katanda and Nasendi, and now Latenkwa.

One thing I suddenly noticed the other day is that there is 
apparently no way to render the English words "aunt" and "uncle" 
properly.  ie, an "aunt" is either "the sister of a parent" OR "the 
wife of a brother of a parent".

Ditto for such expressions as "sister-in-law", which can mean "the 
wife of a brother" or "the sister of one's spouse".

Of course, English's kinship terms are, as I understand it, quirky 
enough that one might not feel the need to incorporate them in a 
general system;  but they could cause the translator to hiccup.
