A quick definition of cognatic:

Term: COGNATIC

Definition: Cognatic means a relationship between people who are related through their mother's or father's side of the family. It's like having cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who are all part of your family tree.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cognatic (kog-nat-ik) is an adjective used to describe a relationship that exists between cognates. Cognates are people who are related to each other through a common ancestor, either through the mother's or father's side of the family.

Examples:

  • My cousin on my mother's side is also my cognate because we share the same maternal grandmother.
  • My uncle on my father's side is not my cognate because we do not share a common ancestor through my father's side of the family.

The examples illustrate how cognatic relationships work. In the first example, the speaker and their cousin share a common ancestor through their mother's side of the family, making them cognates. In the second example, the speaker's uncle is not their cognate because they do not share a common ancestor through their father's side of the family.
