Description

"Age is obviously an important factor in regulating the social behaviour of the Kensiu, and this is reflected in their terminology. For example, in ego's own generation, the terminological distinction between siblings, and also cousins, is based upon age rather than sex. Ego is expected to behave in a fairly respectful way towards his siblings, and also cousins; they are to a large extent to his informal leaders and teachers as far as behavior is concerned"
