Kinship terms on Vethari are pretty complex. Terms change completely when the person is biologically female/masculine, since there are no genders in the language. Exclusive names go for at maximum every person related to you in 3 generations, including your spouse/husband, so those names changes if they are from your partner’s family. After that, people related but distant are called 'prakhninau'. There are names for lots of people, for example: My mother’s-in-law mom is Gurunisyinumi. For people starting with 'step-', the suffix 'egu(l)-' is put. People starting with 'grand-', after the grand-grand-grand-???, is 'fyu(l)-'. | Kinship terms on Vethari are pretty complex.

=== Punctuation === | |||
Vethari uses lots of punctuation that are the same in English, such as the period(.), exclamation mark(!) and quote marks(“„).) | |||
Punctuations in math and other subjects do not change, such as parenthesis and brackets. | |||
Some other punctuations that differ from the English ones are: (❬ ❭) “Jate”, used to show irony in a sentence, (⧼ ⧽) “Thu”, used to show admiration and positivity, however, if two of them on each side, it means the exact opposite. The tricolon/Tesyepagi (⁝) is used to explain something that was mentioned but there was nothing about it. An example in English with the tricolon would be: “An example with it would be⁝”. A double dot or an apostrophe is used as a comma. | |||
