Task
Dholuo has precise words for family relationships that English

different words, for example.

- The Dholuo word
- English equivalent (or closest approximation)
- An example sentence showing it in use
- Notes on any gendered or generational rules
Starting points
wuod (son), nyako (daughter), wuoro (father), min (mother),
dhako (wife), jaod (spouse)...
There are many more — especially for extended family and
clan relationships.
