Best Answer

In Powhatan the word for brother was recorded by explorers as kemotte.

This may be just one word among many that were not recorded, since we know from the related Mohegan language that there were different words for "older brother", "younger brother" "male sibling" and "a man's brother"[someone else's]. Natives also tended to include male cousins in the term "brother".
