Family relationships in ancient Kemet

My study of non western cultures has always allowed me to see the flaws in the modern nuclear family construct. In many cultures there are no words that makes a distinct between your siblings and cousins, or your parents, uncles and aunts. The words used to mark relationships are based on generation or age. I see this reflected in Ancient Kemet. I made a post previously about Wsir being Heru’s uncle in our common terminology. https://kandamaat.com/2023/07/11/kemet-musings/

I don’t think Heru’s conception was immaculate either. I’ll explain more soon.
