erisukuisia
Erisukuisia is a Finnish term and adjective meaning unrelated or from different kin, used to describe people or groups that do not belong to the same immediate family. The word is formed from eri ('different') and suku ('kin, family'), with the adjectival suffix -inen, producing erisukuisia in its plural form when referring to multiple unrelated individuals or groups (for example erisukuisia henkilöitä, 'unrelated individuals') or erisukuisia sukuja, 'unrelated lineages'. In kinship and population studies, erisukuisia is used to distinguish between closely related individuals (lähisukulaisia) and those without recent common ancestry, as well as to discuss genetic diversity, mating patterns, and sampling strategies.
