\fg younger brother
\ncfg In eliciting the kinship nouns, Flint generally uses the possessive pronoun "your" (eg "your younger brother" etc.), although sometimes he gives no possessive pronoun.
\os Kirton (1971:31) baba elder sibling (noun, class 9, 10)
\ncos A possible explanation for the difference between Flint's and Kirton's glosses is that baba is a familiar reciprocal kinterm whose meaning changes when it takes class 10 prefixes (see Kirton 1971:31). This could explain how Kirton glosses baba as "elder sibling", while Flint glosses it as "younger brother" (ie "younger sibling" with the male prefix yaa-).

\os Kirton 1971:31: wukuku daughter's child (noun, class 9, also 10)
\ncos This may be one of those reciprocal terms which, when made formal by the addition of prefixes (as in Flint's transcription), are restricted to use by the junior member of the pair (see Kirton 1971:31). As mother's mother and daughter's child are in a reciprocal relationship, wukuku would then be the stem for "mother's mother".
