Best Answer

The Shoshone and Comanche kinship terms are extremely complex, as in many other native American languages. There is also a close connection between male or female relatives on the same level that does not appear in English.

For "mother", "mother's sister" and "wife of a father's brother" the same word is used in Shoshone: pia.
