Oh... Didn't notice that one. That's quite handy.

I still like the idea of a super generic title for those crazy cases (which
I know personally can get convoluted) where I just want to say "cousin
kevin" instead of "second cousin once removed kevin".  English doesn't go
as far generic as I wish it did sometimes and just have a "family" title
(though it seems like "cousin" fills this gap in some families/usages)

You're also probably right that ckini would be better.

In general it feels like lojban could use some peppering up on titles.
(from a cultural perspective. I'm not advocating gismu/lujvo creation or
anything flame-baity like that)
