I have a bad(?) habit of making up words that I can't find 
If anyone knows the real elvish words for 'Aunt' and 'Uncle' I'd love it if you could tell me because I can't find them anywhere.
I'm not entirely sure that tîril is a real elvish word, but I have seen it used quite a lot, and it's an acceptable opposite of tôr.
There is no 'younger siblings' entry for the Quenyan list because I can't make the words mesh together nicely, and Quenya has colloquial forms of 'brother' and 'sister' (hanno and nettë, respectively) that could be used instead. Sindarin, however, does not have colloquial forms of those words.
