His grandmother's grandmother had come from Tshapa, and he had to call all of his grandmother's brother's children's children's children's children (etc) `my mother's brother, my mother's sister' (including small children)'. (…) Now no one says this any more, the young ones are ashamed of calling [elders] `my sister's child' and instead say `my father's brother' or `my elder sibling'. Now it is all mixed up, but in former times, one had to speak like that.' (140425 kWmdza07) <a href="https://doi.org/10.24397/pangloss-0003791"></fn>
