E Nateとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

enate (複数形 enates)

1. A relative whose relation is traced only through female members of the family.

   A great-grandmother is an enate if she is your mother’s mother's mother.

   • 2000, Alexander H. Bolyanatz, Mortuary Feasting on New Ireland: The Activation of Matriliny Among the Sursurunga, page 86:

     Similarly, since the wearing of a sawat is importantly informed by matrilineal group membership — an enate of the deceased cannot wear a sawat — it would be an error to assume that matrilineal group membership is necessarily salient in explaining the behavior of a social actor.

2. Any maternal female relative.
