Chlouvānem/Lexicon: Difference between revisions

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.

*** Here, the distinction between ''naimā'' and ''mahāṣī'' (and ''jālɂām'' and ''bharyām'') simply refers to the family side viewed from the Ego: ''naimai'' and ''jālɂās'' are on the maternal side, while ''mahāṣēyi'' and ''bharyās'' are on the paternal side.

** ''daniviṣṭimē glūkam/praškas/nālis'' (pl. ''daniviṣṭimāhai glūkās/praške/nālais'') — male second cousins

*** Terms such as ''emibuviṣṭimē naimañæltah'' "male's female second cousin through a female first cousin once removed of a prior generation the maternal side of the family" do exist, but are obsolete in contemporary Chlouvānem.
