8.95

Waishēng (nephew/son-in-law) (the first character is pronounced wài, the second shēng. The Erya's "Explaining Kinship" states: "A wife's father is the maternal uncle (wàijiù), and a wife's mother is the maternal aunt (wàigū)." Guo's commentary states: "He who calls me uncle, I call nephew (shēng)." It also states: "The son of a paternal aunt is a shēng; the son of a maternal uncle is a shēng." Guo's commentary states: "Shēng is like [one who was] born [from the family].")
