 Uncle Henry (from "The Wizard of Oz")

Related (!) words:

'IrneHnal  	uncle (mother's sister's husband)

tennuS  		uncle (father's brother)
tennuSnal  	uncle (father's sister's husband)

me'  			aunt (mother's sister) 
me'nal  		aunt (mother's brother's wife)

'e'mam  		aunt (father's sister)
'e'mamnal  	aunt (father's brother's wife) 

See naHQun's chart at: http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/purpleelaphants/tlhInganHol/qorDuSor.html   

AFAIK none of these have been used in a canon sentence.  (Any aunts or uncles - or cousins or nieces or nephews for that matter - in the paq'batlh?)
