"nibling" is for a niece or nephew. and there's "auncle" (could be used to describle a bi-gender parents' sibling but it could also be used to describle a group of aunt and uncles" "There were a bunch of auncles and 3 cousins last night at a cast party last night"
None of those are real words. I refuse to entertain the idea of inserting gibberish like this into the game.
actually they ARE real words. Google it. Basically everything you type was once "gibberish"

the other option to talk about aunts and uncles are parsib and pibling
I did better than google I used a dictionary. You will not find “nibling”, “auncle”, “parsib”, or “pibling” in ANY version of ANY dictionary because they are not legitimate words and have no legitimate value to the English language. There is no debate to even be had here. Reddit is not a dictionary.
just because they aren't in the dictionary NOW doesn't mean that they might be in the dictionary in the FUTURE. At one time "mother, father, house, brother, sister, aunt or uncle or cousins" you wouldn't have been able to find in a dictionary but you can now
That couldn’t be further from the truth. English as a spoken language predates modern dictionaries by hundreds of years. You won’t find a dictionary that excludes the most basic English. That is just not true. As I said, there’s really no debate to be had here. Until they are recognized as legitimate English they aren’t words. End of story.
WRONG Latin predates English, French, Spanish, etc As did Greek, Technically we had 3 maybe 4 different forms of "English" there's old English (Chauncey's) basically its where we get the livestocks name before they're used for food, and then we had Middle English (with some French influence-hence stuff like BEEF, VENISON, etc) and "Modern English" (aka Shakespeare "Thee" "Thou" ) or "Late Modern English" aka (Oliver Twist) so which English are you talking about?
