    <p>Dear Hedvig,</p>
    <p>In case you need another one: Bunun (Austronesian) has tuqas
      'older sibling' and nauba 'younger sibling'. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Am I wrong to assume that this is quite common in Western
      Austronesian?</p>
    <p>Best,</p>

        <div>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 to
          ego without reference to being sister or brother.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The hypothesis is that this doesn't happen/is very rare.
          We'd like to know if you've come across any examples of this.</div>
        <div><br>

        <div>I'm asking for my friend Alex (cc:ed) who is not on the
          list. Please direct any responses or comments to her.</div>
