1 The Yuma kinship terms have been listed and their structure analyzed. 2 Comment has been made on certain morphological features of the kinship terms. 3 From the analysis of the usage pattern of male and female terms the suggestion has been derived that a relatively simple conceptual system underlies the relatively complex terminological system. 4 Some congruence has been shown between the affinal kinship terminology, the naming practices, and the probable former local group organization.
