<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>
<p>Rik</p>

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