Relationships can be complex on their own. But in a multi-language environment they depend not only on language but also on culture.
In many cases is only the most direct relation relevant. The son of my father can be my brother or me. the grandson of my grandfather can be my cousin, my brother or me. But I'm not my brother nor my cousin and also my brother is not my cousin.
And of course it's possible to have more than one most direct relation. The brother of my wife can be in addition the husband of my sister.
