I haven't been following this discussion, but I would use "ckini" for that. 
There are other ways things can be related.

lo fraso cu ckini lo spano .enai lo .olkola
French is related to Spanish but not to Olkola (an Australian Aboriginal 
language closely related to Oykangand).

la'edi'u ckini lo jdima be lo jungo tcati ma
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? (if we were talking 
about year-to-year variations in Asian rainfall, then it is indeed related.)
