Kinship source: "Kublu started life as an old man because she is her own great grandfather’. She explains: I am my paniq’s atatukulu. My paniq’s my grandmother . . . My grandmother is my paniq, which is daughter. I’m her atatukulu because I’m named after her stepfather. Her biological father was lost out at sea when she was a baby . . . The only father she knew was Kublu and so to her . . . he was her father. My younger daughter calls me inni (son), and I in turn, call her atatta (father). But first of all, I was always going to be Kublu because my atiq died before I was born . . . . My mother’s midwife . . . the first person who held me . . . told my mother that she wanted her son (Kublu) to live with her . . . my mother by name (told) my mother by birth that she wanted . . . to have her son living with her. So that’s how I became Kublu. (Alia 2005: 252) That tangled constellation of identities is virtually impossible for an outsider to comprehend." Alia, Valerie; Bull, Simone (2005).

- Comment: This is a complicated one, and a meaty article at that. I thank any reviewer well for their time and patience. This DYK is tied in with the concept of atiq or atiapik, this article by the Inuit Art Foundation explains the concept quite well.
To explain, as in the article, Inuit namesakes traditionally become the person they are named after. Kublu is named after her grandmother's stepfather and thus became the elder Kublu. Her daughter is named after her father, and thus Kublu's daughter is her father.

Overall: 
Wow, this is a very enticing hook! I think this could pull a lot of people in and teach them about this fascinating part of the Inuit kinship system. I've found no problems with the article; it is fully sourced, neutral and earwig only flags the long names of institutions.[1] Sources check out, so this is a very easy pass from me! Excellent work on this article, I enjoyed reading it. Grnrchst (talk) 11:49, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ornithoptera IMO, the hook will need an "according to Inuit tradition" or similar. How would you prefer to phrase it? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29 hi, could you direct me to the policy that may require the clarification? I'm concerned about losing the interest of the hook, as well as the need to go about it in a culturally conscious manner before proposing an alternative hook. If the current hook is in no direct violation, it might be a good idea to try and go ahead with the hook as-is. Ornithoptera (talk) 20:36, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ornithoptera, WP:DYKHOOK: "The hook should include a definite fact". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:22, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29, I've given it some thought and adding "per Inuit namesake tradition," or "per the Inuit kinship system," after "...that" is probably the best way to go. Preference for the former, because the latter is an anthropological term that goes beyond the complex family dynamics and fails to go into what atiapik is. Napatsi Folger was comfortable describing the atiapik as "a female kinship term for a namesake" so I think it would be the most ideal option to go with. Thus:
