§ 77. Any female is the potential wife of Ego, a male, whom my own 

 wife calls her ija'^-e (22), itafige (, -j ), itimi (^s^'),or itujafige (^/')- I, 

 a male, also call my potential wives those who the widows or wives of 

 my elder or younger brothers. 



I, a male, have any male for my brother-in-law whom my wife calls her 

 elder or younger brother ; also any male who is the brother of my 

 niece or of my brother's wife. But my wife's father's brother is my 

 grandfather, not my brother-in-law, though his sister is my potential 

 wife. When my brother-in-law is the husband of my fathers sister or 

 of my own sister, his sister is my grandchild, and not mypotential wife. 

 A man is my brother-in-law if he be the husband of my lather's sister, 

 since he can many my own sister, but my aunt's husband is not my 

 brother-in-law when he is my uncle or mother's brother (II). Any male 

 is my brother-in-law who is my sister's husband (a). But while my sis- 

 ter's niece's husband is my sister's potential or real husband, he is my 

 son-in-law, as he is my daughter's husband (d). I, a male or female, 

 call any male my son-in-law who is the husband f my daugh'er ( '/')■ my 

 niece {j^0 or c ^ / ), or of my grandchild {/%) ), and his father is my son- 

 in-law. 



When I, a male or female, call my daughter-in-law's father my grand- 

 father, her brother is my grandchild (D). 



Any female is my daughter-in-law (male or female speaking) who is 

 the wife of my sou, nephew, or grandchild ; and the mother of my son- 

 in-law is so called by me. Any male affinity is my grandfather (or father- 

 in-law) who is the father, mother's brother, or grandfather of my wife, 

 my potential wife, or my daughter -in law (the last being the wife of my 

 son, nepLew, or grandson). The corresponding female affinity is my 

 grandmother (or mother-in-law).
