You can see from the meanings given for the kinship terms above that most kinship terms do not distinguish gender. That is, the same words are used for grandmother and grandfather, older brother and older sister. The same is true for aunt and uncle, son and daughter, etc. For singular nouns, gender is marked by the article, or the words 'e'ut and 'e'uth, as in the examples below.
