Your Brother and Your Mom's Brother?


The other day some friends and I were discussing polygamy, we are from Utah, and we started talking about how it would work and what you would call people who were related to you in more than one way. It was at this point that I decided to make an incest list so that no one has to wonder what to call their family members who have multiple relational titles. This may not be a problem for people in other states but for me it is embarrassing when someone introduces their wife to me but I also happen to know that she is also his sister.   

Multi-Relational Titles
-          Bruncle (Brother-Uncle)
-          Brusband (Brother-Husband)
-          Moster (Mom-Sister)
-          Saunt (Sister-Aunt)
-          Broad (Brother-Dad)
-          Waunt (Wife-Aunt)
-          Graunt (Grandma-Aunt)
-          Huncle (Husband-Uncle)
-          Duncle (Dad-Uncle)
-          Gruncle (Grandpa-Uncle)
-          Wister (Wife-Sister)
-          Wom (Wife-Mom)
-          Wiece (Wife-Niece)
-          Wifma (Wife-Granma)
-          Husbad (Husband-Dad)
-          Husphew (Husband-Nephew)
-          Granband (Grandpa-Husband)
-          Brophew (Brother-Nephew)
-          Brondpa (Brother-Grandpa)
-          Smom (Sister-Mom)

This is by no means a complete list of multi-relation names so I would greatly appreciate any input you have on better or new insestual titles. At least for now though the next time you see your brother who also happens to be your mom’s brother you don’t have to have that awkward moment of how to address your bruncle.
