Never used in canon. Cf.
{lorbe'} female cousin (mother's brother's daughter or father's sister's daughter), niece (man's sister's daughter or woman's brother's daughter)
{lor} cousin (n) (mother's brother's child or father's sister's child), niece or nephew (man's sister's child or woman's brother's child)
Cp. with:
{vIn} cousin, niece or nephew [most general word]
{tey'} cousin (mother's sister's child or father's brother's child), niece or nephew (man's brother's child or woman's sister's child) (n)
{tey'be'} female cousin (mother's sister's child or father's brother's child), niece (man's brother's daughter or woman's sister's daughter)
{tey'loD} male cousin (mother's sister's son or father's brother's son), nephew (man's brother's son or woman's sister's son)
N.B. When speaking of kinfolk, be careful not to confuse your {lorpu'} with your {tey'pu}:
HQ 9.3:8: {vIn}, in its plural form {vInpu'}, is used for a group consisting of at least one {tey'} and no one who is not a {lor} or a {tey'}. Thus {vInpu'} may be translated "cousins, nieces, nephews." If it's not a mixed group, then, of course, the plural forms of {lor} and {tey'} would be used ({lorpu', tey'pu'}). {vInpu'} might also be used if the speaker is unsure about the makeup of the group (but sure enough to know that {vInpu'} is a better choice than {yurpu'}. The singular form, {vIn}, is also sometimes used in place of {lor} or {tey'} when focusing on the {vIn} as a member of a group of {vInpu'} as opposed to his or her specific relationship to the speaker.
