 Khiij kinship is not easy to understand, so let's begin by breaking it into categories:
Siblings:
Any of these terms that are valid you could use, but I will note some connotations
Senuhe: brother, so often used metaphorically that it may get people to think that he is not a brother.
Senuheaj: sister, same as senuhe
Biilj: younger brother
Biilaj: younger sister
Biibiil: younger sibling, casual, more of a nickname
Kofax: older brother
Kofxaj: older sister
Ko: older sibling, casual, even slangy
Gelbej: same gender sibling
Abkul: different gender sibling
Sbiil: adopted sibling, generally a cousin.
Parents:
Kell: father
Kellaj: mother
Votriq: father, or rather anybody standing in as a father. The term includes foster parents, babysitters, stepfathers, and godparents
Votraj: mother, same as votriq
Cousins:
Iizakc: cousin, older male in your household
Iizakcaj: cousin, older female in your household
Vrotal: cousin, older male outside of your household, or older brother that moved away from the original house
