Grand-Nephew And Kinship

Here's introducing my first grand-nephew, Lee Ben. I met him for the first time last week. That's a niece holding him. OBSERVATION: "It's not your niece," says wife E. "It's your daughter." We have different terms for relatives in our cultures -- the well-known phenomenon of "kinship terminology". E. straddles the line between Xhosa and Afrikaans as to how one designates relatives. So looking at it the other way round, I would be my niece's tamnci (short for tata mncimnci) or kleinpa -- but oom (uncle) in standard Afrikaans. Ta and pa mean dad.
