Older generations in the direct line (great-grandparents etc.) are called ''waraba'' regardless of sex or generation, a word roughly equivalent to "ancestor". The words ''araaxo'' and ''ashoxo'' can be used for "great-grandfather" and "great-grandmother" respectively, whilst ''araato'' and ''ashoto'' are "great-great-grandfather" and "great-great-grandmother". The primary male ancestor of one's kinship group is known as the ''heuji'' and the female one as ''beuz''. Direct descendants below "grandchild" are ''xembaxo'' "great-grandchild" and ''xembato'' "great-great-grandchild". The word ''angade'' means "relative, kinsman".
