Family
पिता, माता, and भ्राता are Lesson 29: Mother and Father. पुत्रः is like छात्रः. पुत्री is like नदी. This page is the rest of the set, with those words listed again so the family is in one place.
भगिनी means sister, and it is both दिदी and बहिनी. Sanskrit does not split the age in the noun. ज्येष्ठा भगिनी is the elder sister. कनिष्ठा भगिनी is the younger sister. ज्येष्ठा and कनिष्ठा are adjectives, like नवीना beside a woman.
