It is extremely important in historical anthropology to note that most kinship terms in Chlouvānem are not Proto-Lahob in origin, but derived from other languages of the late-First Era Jade Coast. This is taken as certifying the large amount of intercultural mixing among populations in that time and place. Chlouvānem kinship terminology conceptually follows a [[w:Sudanese kinship|Sudanese kinship]] system, with less distinctions being made further than first cousins, and distinguishes relative age of siblings (and cousins) of the same gender and in the same generation of the Ego.<br/>While Chlouvānem does not have unanalyzable dyadic kinship terms, dvandva compounds may be formed from any two words. | It is extremely important in historical anthropology to note that most kinship terms in Chlouvānem are not Proto-Lahob in origin, but derived from other languages of the late-First Era Jade Coast.

Chlouvānem society was traditionally matriarchal and matrilocal; in today's Yunyalīlti Communist society, however, gender equality in marriage and emphasis on the nuclear family are prevalent, even though matrilocality is still prevalent in rural areas. | Chlouvānem society was traditionally matriarchal and matrilocal; in today's Yunyalīlti Communist society, however, gender equality in marriage and emphasis on the nuclear family are prevalent, even though matrilocality is still prevalent in rural areas. In older just as in modern times, however, Chlouvānem people are an exogamous society, with a broad definition of what is considered incest (perhaps the most disgusting thing to the Chlouvānem mind, and the source of their language's worst insults) and even broader restrictions on allowable marriage partners. | ||
