and some tips:
numbers are used to see how much generations you grandparents or grandchildren are. grandfather is 1, great-grandfather is 2 etc
the genitive is used too.
for example: kłorłψcan-kłorłψcanic (paternal grandfather)
but they can get long, since Diceroll is polysynthetic and agglutinating
for example: kłormwe-kłorθofsψcanic-qemwec-kłorθofsψcanic-epⵀtmwec-kłorθofsψcanic-kłorłψcanic-kłorłψcanic-qic (my father's father's older brother's daughter's older brother's wife's older brother's mother) or the older brother of my 2nd cousin once removed's mother-in-law.
