Asco-Manthian kinship is a patrilineal kinship system used by Asco-Manthian societies, the largest of which being Asconians. Being Namuno-Ethian peoples, their vocabulary reflects, for the most part, that of Proto-Namuno-Ethian. However, Asco-Manthian kinship differs significantly from those of related cultures in that it employs a system of social classes, called kads (Ascon: kade, sg. kad). Every genn (family, clan) forms part of one of six kads, passed down through the male line. People cannot marry within their same kad, even if they are of a different genn, as they are considered extended family.
