> This seems like such a distant yet specific relationship type I don't know much about it (never stepped foot outside EU/NA) but apparently some Asian countries have a pretty intricate system of kinship terms. For example Diagram IV in [1] shows different (Mandarin?) Chinese terms for what we would just call a "cousin" in English.
I also found the video by NativLang [2] on the topic pretty interesting. [1] https://ac-journal.org/journal/vol3/Iss3/spec1/huang_jia.htm...
