Yep, thank you! Fixed. Should be

There's something in the kinship terms that I found a little bit confusing:

mɤly is the daughter of any pa— i.e. your sister, or your cousins from a maternal aunt
umɤ is the son of any na—your brother, or your cousins from a paternal uncle

From the description alone, it seems like there's no terms for the daughter of a paternal uncle or the son of a maternal aunt. In the chart, it looks like mɤly is the daughter of any pa or na, i.e. your sister or your cousins from either a maternal aunt or a paternal uncle, and likewise for umɤ.

Also, was umɤ actually supposed to be ɯmɤ?

Yeah, the description got confused-- follow the diagram instead.

Yep!
