| Pangasinan | Tagalog | English |
|---|---|---|
| Inapending review | Ina | MotherKapampangan 'ima' is a mother; Ilocano 'ima' is a hand. Two Luzon languages a hundred kilometres apart, same three letters, nothing in common. |
| Amapending review | Ama | Father |
| Nanaypending review | Nanay | Mum |
| Tataypending review | Tatay | Dad |
| Anakpending review | Anak | Child'Anak' is the offspring relationship in all eight; Bikol 'aki' is the exception and is a child in general. |
| Agipending review | Kapatid | SiblingSix unrelated roots. Only Tagalog 'kapatid' and Kapampangan 'kapatad' match, and that is a loan rather than shared inheritance. |
| Baipending review | Lola | Grandmother |
| Lakipending review | Lolo | GrandfatherPangasinan 'laki' is a grandfather. In Tagalog, Cebuano and most of the rest, 'lalaki' is simply a man — close enough to mislead. |
| Kaaropending review | Kaibigan | FriendEight languages, eight unrelated words. Kapampangan 'kaluguran' doubles as a term of affection, which is why 'Kaluguran daka' means 'I love you'. |
| Lakipending review | Lalaki | Man |
| Biipending review | Babae | Woman |
| Asawapending review | Asawa | Spouse'Asawa' covers husband and wife alike in seven of the eight — the sex of the spouse is not marked. Bikol 'agom' is the odd one out. |
| Ngaranpending review | Pangalan | Name |
| Ulitegpending review | Tiyo | Uncle |
| Ikitpending review | Tiya | Aunt |
