D’ ab-čabil. Mr Man gives this as translating “my father, my step-father.” The feminine equivalent would seem to be d’ ab-čanola, which is given for “my mother” and “my step-mother.” Mr Portman gives ab-čabil and ab-čana as the Aka-Bea terms for “married man” and “married woman25.” The two words are the equivalents of the Akar-Bale ab-čuga and ab-čupal.
