The Eskimo kinship system, also known as the lineal system, distinguishes between the nuclear family and other relatives, which is why "brother" and "sister" are separate from "cousins." Additionally, it simplifies terms outside the nuclear family, so both father's brother and mother's brother are referred to as "uncle."
