So, in the course of making the corrections, I came across this little snag:

The man Zam is the brother of the husband of the daughter of the woman Jin, which makes him Jin's son-in-law.

In the original translation, I have {jy. be'aspe la.zam.}, which is obviously wrong.

So, let's see. {jy. mamta lo speni be lo bruna be la.zam.} is {jy. be'aspemamta la.zam.}? Is there some way to make that shorter?

Oops. I meant "bunspemamta

What about getting rid of the "speni" part, which means leaving the "te bruna" implicit, and further removing the gender specificity, and going with "tubmamta"?
