Never used in canon.

Cf. {tennuS} "uncle (father's brother).
PUN: Uncle Tenus ("teh-NOOSE") on the "Danny Thomas Show".

Cf. also {'IrneH} "uncle (mother's brother)" and {'IrneHnal} "uncle (mother's sister's husband)".

Confused?  See naHQun's helpful chart of family relationships at: http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/purpleelaphants/tlhInganHol/qorDuSor.html
