[Lexicog] Another lexical gap

[Jim and Cindi Farr]

Consuegros  'co-parents-in-law' had a counterpart in the two Binandere
language family languages (Papua New Guinea) that we have studied in depth.


        In Korafe-Yegha: simbogho (gh=voiced velar fricative)
        In Tafota Baruga: siba

I as a co-parent-in-law talk about my son's parents-in-law as simbogho or
siba. This is mostly a referential term. But it can be used as an address
term.
