>Of course, yes. It's just as confusing to know what sister-in-law means too: my brother's wife, my wife's brother
and don't forget my husband's sister's husband (not that such a person exists, in my case), who is also my brother-in-law.

Reminds me of a funny family story. Seems my aunt (my mother's brother's widow) ran into a family friend, who was out shopping with her sister, one day. The sister asked "Who's that?" and the woman replied "That's my sister-in-law's sister-in-law's sister-in-law" and it was.
Interestingly, the questioner's daughter lives in my neighborhood. She's my cousin's cousin's cousin.
