Personal names in the script

When written, the vowels are left out and the two consonants are joined together. For a male name, the two consonants are joined by a cross, for female names the two consonants are joined by a curved line that looks a bit like an "s" on its side.

Names of family relationships

Within families, proper names are not used. The words listed below are used.

primary

There are 14 primary family relationships as given below.

mother	mama
son	yaya
daughter	jaja
grand-daughter	fafa
father	baba
older sister	gaga
older brother	dada
grand-mother	caca
female cousin	sasa
younger sister	kaka
grandson	papa
younger brother	tata
grandfather	wawa
male cousin	nana

secondary

Derived from the above. there are 16 secondary family relationships as given below.

uncle	daba	the older brother of your father
uncle	taba	the younger brother of your father
aunt	gaba	the older sister of your father
aunt	kaba	the younger sister of your father
uncle	dama	the older brother of your mother
uncle	tama	the younger brother of your mother
aunt	gama	the older sister of your mother
aunt	kama	the younger sister of your mother
offspring/children	yaja
parents	maba
grandparents	cawa
brothers	data
sisters	gaka
elder syblings	daga
younger syblings	taka
grandchildren	fapa

Notice that the last eight (yaja to fapa) are plural nouns. You would not normally come across the form, for example, gakan (maybe in certain circumstances, if you were talking about "sets of sisters" but it would be unusual).

Some of the above can take a number stuck on the end. For example;-

yayada = the third oldest son
