Mohawk kinship terms are far more complex and precise than in English.
The Mohawk element -'kenha means younger brother, the element -tsi'a means older brother. Each must have a prefix indicating "my", "your", "his" and so on.
Compare the Cayuga terms hehjiah, "my older brother", hegęęh "my younger brother".
