*In general speech, the degree level of the relationship is often omitted; therefore dasba may refer to a person’s grandparent (second degree), great grandparent (third degree), or even more removed, and likewise, dar?l may refer to a person’s child (first degree), grandchild (second degree), great grandchild (third degree), or even more removed. This is not to imply that the Ellendrí do not keep accurate lineage records, or that the degree of relatedness is unknown. Rather, in a population where aging does not occur, it is not uncommon for a family to have members who are more than four degrees removed, and the language to reflect this is cumbersome for day-to-day usage.
