If you mean words that are suitable for individuals regardless of their gender
identities, yes, there are words for those.  "Human" is "{remna}," and "person"
(not necessarily human) is "{prenu}."  "Child" is "{verba}," "offspring" is
"{panzi}," "parent" is "{rirni}," "sibling" is "{tunba}," "uncle/aunt" is
"{famti}," et cetera.
