- An overly-specific term that would be used in place of brata-camu in normal speech only in a case where one wanted to specify that the relative in question was married to one’s brother rather than one’s sister. There are additionally even more specific terms such as bratotca-caminu ‘brother’s wife’ and bratotca-camotcu ‘brother’s husband’ which are usually reserved for legal documents or other language that needs to be very precise.
