EN: lineage, clan
Think of it as the 'extended universe' of your family. It's not just the main cast (your immediate family), but all the spin-off characters (second cousins, grand-nephews) combined. Sometimes used to refer to all the 'bata' or younger folks in the clan.
From ka- + anak + -an suffix, denoting a collective group or the entirety of a lineage.
While it can mean 'clan' or 'lineage', it's often used to refer to the collective nieces, nephews, and grandchildren of an elder.
