systrunger (OSw) systling (ODan) systrungr (ON) syslingi (OSw) syslungi (OSw) systlungi (OSw) systrunga (OSw) systrungi (OSw) syzllungi (OSw) noun

Derived from a word meaning ‘sister’, referring to maternal relatives, originally possibly descendants of a maternal aunt. The masculine form systrunger (OSw) would be expected to refer to male relatives, possibly cousins, the feminine form systrunga (OSw) to females, and the male collective form systrungi (OSw) to both males and females, but the usage in the laws is often unclear. This and other kinship notations in the Nordic laws are often misleading to modern interpreters, as they do not necessarily refer to ego.
