<p>Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>What Hedwig is looking for is common in West Africa. I can think of Manjaku, Balanta and Bijogo, but RefLex (<a href="http://www.reflex.cnrs.fr">www.reflex.cnrs.fr</a>) also gives interesting results for some Bantu languages, among others. Many languages
(like Joola, Baynunk) have a contrast between "same sex sibling" vs "opposite sex sibling", regardless of age. I have no example in mind of languages having a 4-term contrast combinig the two above features.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of a language that has a distinction in the kinship system for age of referent (younger/older) without also having a distinction for gender of referent? For example, a language that marks siblings as being younger or older
