Composition

zo (living thing) + ne (relation/connection) — a relational connection of the biological/living type. Base for the entire kinship compound family.

Definition

biological kinship bond; living relational tie; the fact of being biologically related to another living being.

Notes

zo-ne is the semantic root for all biological kin vocabulary. Five derived forms build from it: zo-ne-go (W077): parent (kin + origin) zo-ne-du (W078): child (kin + result) zo-ne-ru (W079): sibling (kin + unity) zo-ne-go-re (W080): ancestor (kin-parent + recurrence) zo-ne-du-re (W081): descendant (kin-child + recurrence) All kin terms are sex-neutral: Tonesu has no sex primitive. There is no distinction between mother/father, brother/sister. The kinship bond is structurally prior to biological sex.

zo (living), ne (relation), W077–W081

Examples

(base compound; used as head in W077–W081; appears as standalone to name the kinship concept abstractly)
