<DIV dir=ltr>Dear LINGTYP,
<DIV><BR></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><BR></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>
