** '''lorkhās''' also translates as "boy", but it's fairly colloquial and can sometimes be somewhat rude.

** '''samin''' “child” is gender-neutral (newborns (up to around their 5th year) are considered genderless in Chlouvānem culture).

* Parents: '''meinā''' “mother”, '''~~bŏnā~~''' “father” — honorific terms: respectively '''nāḍima''', '''tāmvāram''';

* Parents: '''meinā''' “mother”, '''bunā''' “father” — honorific terms: respectively '''nāḍima''', '''tāmvāram''';

* Parents' siblings and their spouses - note that here the main focus is on marriage relationship, gender is secondary: '''naimā''' “aunt” (mother’s sister), '''naimåkās''' (mother’s sister’s spouse); '''vahūm''' “uncle” (brother of either parent) '''vahīlema''' (a parent’s brother’s spouse); '''hėmiva''' “aunt” (father’s sister), '''~~hėmŏkās~~''' (father’s sister’s spouse).

The terms for siblings and cousins vary for relative gender and age. There’s no standard use for non-binary people, but the “opposite” terms ''(nėma)ñæltah''/''(nėma)glūkam'' are the most neutral ones. Note that ''(nėma)kordām'' is not acceptable as a gender-neutral term as its main focus is on age.
