Relatives

Now lets get to more 'complicated' relatives! The words to describe these relatives is so relation specific that I doubt any other language has such descriptive words to describe relations!
The earlier blog was words for relations as we would call them. These words are used more to refer to them and not used to call them. For instance one would call a paternal uncle 'Kaka' but would refer to him as 'Chultha'. One would call a cousin by name but would refer to him as 'chulath bhau' or ' maavas bhau'

Chultha चुल्था ... Paternal Uncle (kaka)

Chulthi चुल्थी ... Kaki or paternal uncle's wife

Chulath bhau चुलत भाऊ ... refers to a Cousin who is the Chultha or paternal uncle's son

Chulath Bahin चुलत बहिन ... refers to a Cousin who is the Chultha or paternal uncle's daughter

Maavas Bhau मावस भाऊ ... refers to a cousin who is the Maushi or maternal aunt's son

Maavas Bahin मावस बहिन ... refers to a cousin who is the Maushi or maternal aunt's daughter

Chulathe sasra चुलत सासरा ... father-in-law's brother

Chulath Saasu चुलत सासू... husband's kaki or father-in-law's brother's wife

Saavatr सावत्र .. refers to 'Step' This is used as a prefix to describe all step relations ships

Saavatr Maai सावत्र माई .. is step mother



Similarly Saavatr baap, saavtr bhau, saavtr bahin, saavatr kaka and so on.

Sakka सक्का ... one's own ( not step relative)

Bhauja भौज ... brother's wife

Nanand ननंद ... husband's younger sister

Vahinak वहिनक ... husband's older sister

Daer देर ... husband's younger brother

Saadu.... is a co-brother

Vyaahin व्याहीं ... one's daughter's or son's father

Vihinn विहिन्न ... one's daughter's or son's mother

Sasra साश्रा ...father-in-law

saasu सासू ... mother-in-law

Kaak Saasu काक्सासू ... Father-in-law's brother's wife

Kaaksasra काक्सासरा ...Father-in-law's brother.
