	The Khots use a patrilineal kinship system similar to that of related Khot-Hashic cultures. A person will trace their ancestry through the male line. Khot kinship distinguishes between generation and lineal/collateral kins. Gender distinction is seldom necessary as the near totality of [[clúnath]] are male, but in the rare case that a natal female relative (i.e. a woman born to a clúnath father, which on average would be around 1 to 3 people within a 20 to 50 member clan) is present, they get the base kinship term plus the word for woman (''xotan''). Natal women are highly valued and regularly become wives of other clans' chiefs and his direct family. Non-natal women are, however, rarely recognised as "true" kin, with perhaps the exception of mother-child relationships.

	Homosexual relations are a common thing in Khot culture. It is ritualistically encouraged, as Naimonists believe that it keeps the flow of the ''emürrüng'' (primordial semen) alive within men. Who is eligible for these relationships, and who takes on the active and passive roles, is based on familial distance and generation. People within the same patrilineage (i.e. sharing the same male family line) up to their own generation will never engage in ritual homosexuality. This would make sex between cousins viable, as they do not share the same father. Within one's generation, positioning is versatile, although it is common for the older partner to also be the active one. Between generations, the older men will always take the active role.

			Khot clúnydd are recognisable from their usually bluish fur tones. These vary from glossy, blackish purples to bright light blues. Their fur tends toward curly and dense, similar to other [[Anidon]] clúnath ethnic groups. Khot horns are long and straight. About 60~65% of Khots have auricula, and their ears are straight, triangular and round-tipped. Their tails are straight and their skin trends dark.
