The word Ahizpa in basque is sister as you say, but only if a girl is speaking. I mean, if I'm a boy I will say (nire arreba) (my sister) but if I'm a girl I will say (nire ahizpa) (my sister).
If I'm a boy -> my brother = anaia (brother)
If I'm a boy -> my sister= arreba (sister)
If I'm a girl -> my brother= neba (brother)
IF I'm a girl -> my sister= ahizpa (sister)
Yes, we basque are complicated!
Thank you for mentioning this. I wasn't aware of the Basque usage. The grammar is interestingly complicated. I saw arreba for sister, as well as ahizpa, but I wrongly thought they were synonyms.
