>>No, just differentiating between father's brother, mother's brother, or spouses of parents' sisters. So we have three words there. Then a cousin is actually a brother/sister of {appropriate uncle/aunt term} - "sestra od ujaka" is mother's brother's daughter.

No we don't - actually we have no problem to get around. You have a "sister/brother off {appropriate kind of uncle/aunt}" - "sestra/brat od ujaka/strica/tetke". Additionally, your siblings' kids also have names: bratanac/bratanica (brother's son/daughter), "sestrić/sestričina" (sister's).

The example is exaggerated, of course, but I've often heard the word "remember" used in all three meanings instead of any of those.

>BTW I don't know why we say "later on" most of the time. There is no "later off" or, indeed, any other type of later.

What's the reverse of "appoint"?

Or, why are people feeling bad when they're p'd off? Would they feel better if they were p'd on?
