"d" and "k" cannot be next to each other (voiced with unvoiced), so a "y" has to be inserted to separate them (kadyki'itcini).
"ckini" (rafsi "ki'i"; 'related') by itself doesn't mean 'relation', although it may be enough to carry the idea.

Another possibility is "melbi zei sevzi zei bevri" (beautiful+self+carry) (or melse'ibei), but I don't know what the place structure would be.  What is the place structure for your suggested lujvo?
