Resumo
Contrary to certain of the assumptions of Nerlove and Romney (1967) on sibling terminology and cross‐sex behavior, the sibling terminology of the Southeastern Nuba manifests a primary sex‐of‐speaker component and is shown to be conjunctive. Other data appear to weigh against their functional hypotheses for the cross‐parallel distinction in sibling terminology but support a general conclusion that there may be different levels of explanation in kinship usage and that attention should be paid to cultural conceptions of cross‐sex relations.
