SWANTON] TERMS OF RELATIONSHIP | 181 
A varying application is also found in that this term is used by a 
woman in speaking to her father-in-law. 
2. posi (Chickasaw), pokni (Choctaw) (grandmother) correspond 
to Muskogee posi, and they are used in the same manner in their 
primary applications to the grandmother, and the women of her 
generation and preceding generations. However, in a manner anal- 
ogous to the term preceding, they are bestowed by a woman upon 
her husband’s mother. The Chickasaw, like the Muskogee, employed 
posi also for the father’s sister, but bestowed it only upon those of 
her female descendants connected through the females. The Choc- 
taw, on the other hand, introduced a new term, hukni, used for the 
father’s sister and, as in Chickasaw, for her descendants through 
females. It is probable that this word is etymologically connected 
with pokni. 
3. ki (father) and kosi (little father). These are equivalent in 
nearly all particulars to Muskogee Iki, except that they are applied 
mainly to the descendants of the father’s sister through females. 
4. cki (mother) and ckosi (little mother). Used like Muskogee 
tcki, with the limitation on the father’s side already several times 
mentioned. There is also one striking difference in the fact that 
they are used for the maternal uncle’s wife, and, presumably, for the 
wives of all of those called by the same term as the maternal uncle. 
The Choctaw, however, call the mother’s brother’s wife haiya (q. v.). 
5. moci (maternal uncle). This seems to be absolutely identical 
in use with Muskogee pawa. 
6. tikba (Chickasaw), anni (Choctaw) (elder brother, m. sp.; elder 
sister, w. sp.). These apparently vary little from Muskogee taha. 
7. nakfie (younger brother), almost identical in use with Muskogee 
teusi. However, the term is also applied, according to Morgan, to 
some of the children of the men on the father’s side called by the same 
term as the father. Presumably this would also hold good for the 
daughters when a woman is speaking. 
8. tek (sister, m. sp.). The equivalent of Muskogee wanwa but 
bestowed also upon daughters of those male relatives on the father’s 
side called by the same term as the father. 
9 and 10. so (Chickasaw and Choctaw) (child, son, daughter), 
tcipota (Chickasaw) (child), ala (Choctaw) (son). As used by a 
man these are equivalent to the Muskogee terms kputci and ttcusti 
taken together. The daughter is distinguished if necessary by the 
addition of the feminine sign tek, as so tek, ala tek. The stepson 
is called so toba, and the stepdaughter so tek toba or so tek pila. 
11. baiyi (nephew, or, more exactly, sister’s son). The counterpart 
of Muskogee hopwiwa. 
12. bitek (niece). Corresponds to Muskogee hakpade, but is prob: 
ably a contraction of baiyi plus the feminine sign tek.
