mamamh

ordinary term for MF(Z) and reciprocal, wBDC/mDC

mamamh, I am your father, my kangkinj ‘ZC’, your MF(Z).
I am your aunty, my child, your MF(Z)

mamamh I am your father, my mother, your FM.

Here it appears the tucentric makkah of the hearer is referred to as mamamh by both speech participants. Why isn’t the correct term ‘makkah’?

mamamh, I am your mother, my father, your MF(Z).

mamamh, you are my child (female ego), my mawah ‘FF(B/Z)’, your MFF.

mamamh, you are my father, my MF(Z), your kangkinj ‘ZC’.

mamamh, you are my kangkinj ‘ZC’ (male ego), my na-kurrng ‘MMBS’, your mamamh ‘MF(B)’.

Note that the pair of term mamamh and the reciprocal term = mamamh ngarduk, maintain the junior generation centricity.

mamamh, you are my kangkinj ‘ZC’, my son/daughter (but possibly also na-kurrng/ngalkurrng), your mamamh ‘MF’.

Your mamamh could also be your cross cousin?

mamamh, you are my korlonj ‘BC’, my kangkinj ‘C, FMBD, FMBS’, your mamamh ‘MF(Z)’. Reciprocal term = mamamh

mamamh, you are my mother, my mamamh ‘MF/MFZ’, your father or father’s sister (or brother). Reciprocal term = mamamh

mamamh, you are my mother, my MF(Z), your father.

mamamh, you are my mother, my MF(Z), your father.

mamamh, you are my mother, my MFF, your mawah ‘FF(B/Z)’. Reciprocal term = mamamh

What’s going here? My MFF is equivalent to my MF?

mamamh, synonym = na-rroyngu/ngaldoyngu you are my FZ, my mamamh ‘MF(Z), your kangkinj /djedje ‘C’.

Ones paternal cross cousin is called mamamh when talking to cross-cousin’s mother (i.e. one’s aunty, FZ)

mamamh, synonym = na-rroyngu/ngaldoyngu, you are my MB, my mamamh ‘MF(Z)/(B)DC’, your son/daughter but also possibly na-kurrng/ngalkurrng.

Ones maternal cross cousin is referred to as mamamh when talking to maternal cross-cousin’s father.

mamamh/makkah (either term acceptable), you are my kangkinj ‘ZC’, my F, your MF. Reciprocal term = mamamh/makkah

Uncle uses a tucentric form about his father when he talks to his sister’s children. Interesting the collapsing of mamamh and makkah in various contexts (a generalised context needs to be determined).

mamamh, you are my child (female ego), my father, your mamamh ‘MF’. Reciprocal term = mamamh

Parent to child uses tucentric in relation to child’s grandparent.
