Ceremonial kinship terms appear to take precedence over kinship 

 terms, e. g., Genealogy II, 7, called Genealogy II, 5, her mother's 

 brother, tata shifun,** he was her moiety father, instead of meme, 

 imcle. Similarlj' piba, the term for Catholic godfather, may be used 

 in preference to a kinship term. 



The spirits are referred to or addressed as our father, kikaawei; our 

 mother, kikewei; our son, kiniuwei; kikaawei turide, our father Sun, 

 or kikaawei dios, our father god; kikewei namburuliu, our mother 

 Clay old woman; kimuwei paxolan, our sons the stars. In a folk tale 

 the animated house broom is addressed as inkewei, my mother, and 

 responds with inpyiiwei, my daughter. As elsewhere, Spider is 

 addressed as grandmother (chi'i); men in folk tales are referred to as 

 the sons of Rattlesnake. Ka'an ati is a term for "Indian spirits."

 primo, prima, cousin; compadre and coraadre for the godparents of 

 your child, and, reciprocally, for the parents of your godchild; and 

 piba, godparent and godchild. One \vath the same Mexican name 

 as yours, j'ou address as tokaiyu.
