Courtship and Family -- Liir

From SOTS

Liir parenting is communal. An infant can nurse from any other "female" Liir in its community. They have several variations on the word "mother" which, depending on mental inflection, can mean: "a female Liir," "she who birthed my body," "she who nourishes me physically (or spiritually)," "she who tears away the blinding caul," etc.

Pair bonding among the Liir is not common, but it is possible. Courtship is an interplay of minds and bodies which is impossible to unwind and separate from other interactions.
