Reviewed by a Ga speaker

noun · brother or sister; relative of the same generation

plural nyemimei; from nyebi, which see; Adangme: the same, and mami; Otyi: nua; Zimmermann gives the German Geschwister, and explains that while nyebi excludes any other relation, nyemi covers relationship in general and is used very widely for relatives of the same age (compare tšẹ, nye, bi), as in Hebrew; like nanyo it is often used for brotherhood or fellowship in general
