Compound terms should be interpreted as follows: MB ‘mother’s brother’, MMB ‘mother’s mother’s brother’, etc. When a compound term appears with one of its terms in brackets, this indicates that the compound term has different referents for different categories of people. For example (Z)C is the term used by a woman for her own and her sisters’ children, and by a man for his sisters’ children, while (B)C is the term used by a man for his own and his brothers’ children and by a woman for her brothers’ children. Anglo-Celtic terms appear in two forms: in italic (e.g. sister) or between quotation marks (e.g. ‘sister’). The former are to be understood as terms in the Anglo-Celtic system, whereas the latter are approximate ‘translations’ of local Indigenous terms.
