IV. With myself a female, the children of my several sisters, own and collateral, and of my several female cousins, are my sons and daughters.
Reasons: All their husbands are my husbands as well. In strictness these children are my step-children, and are so described in Ojibwa and several other Algonkin tribes; but in the Seneca-Iroquois, and in Tamil, following the ancient classification, they are placed in the category of my sons and daughters, for reasons given in the Malayan.
V. All the children of these sons and daughters are my grandchildren.
Reason: They are the children of my sons and daughters.
VI. All the children of these nephews and nieces are my grandchildren.
Reason: These were the relationships of the same persons under the Malayan system, which presumptively preceded the Turanian. No new one having been invented, the old would remain.
VII. All the brothers of my father, own and collateral, are my fathers.
Reason: They are the husbands of my mother. It is the same in Malayan.
VIII. All the sisters of my father, own and collateral, are my aunts.
Reason: Under the gentile organization neither can be the wife of my father; wherefore the previous relationship of mother is inadmissible. A new relationship, therefore, was required: whence that of aunt.
