Northeadish/kinship terms

Immediate Family: Frīnðʀ

Great-grandparents: Fōrævʀ

There is no distinction between mother’s/father’s maternal and paternal grandparents; e.g. father’s father’s father and father’s mother’s father are both fōravf. The prefix “great-” is “fōr,” and can be repeated indefinitely in the same manner. Familial generations use the same prefixes as time-related words, such as fōr-, naɧ-, and naɧᵫvʀ-; although gestʀ- is not used for family members, as the adjective implies that they are dead.
