nouns - Is there a single word which means "a person, and all of his ancestors", or "a person, and all of his descendants"?
There are a lot of words describing ancestral relationships between people, such as:
parent
grandparent
great-grandparent
any of the above can be described as an "ancestor".
child
grandchild
great-grandchild
any of the above can be described as a "descendant".
I am wondering if there are single words (nouns) which describe any of the following concepts:
A person and all of his/her ancestors
A person or any of his/her ancestors
A person and all of his/her descendants
A person or any of his/her descendants
Any ideas?
