[lojban] auntie/uncle



So I was visiting the family and was thinking about how my wife's sisster's daughter would refer to me.

At first I liked the idea of relationships being explictely called out like mamymam etc... But now I'm wondering if it would be nice to have a really generic title for family members.  I mean, how many people had an "uncle jim" who was technically a close friend of the family but has an honorary family title.

So I was thinking maybe something like {la lanzu.djim} as being a fully generic family title for when you don't want to spell out that this is "la mamymesyspeni djim"
