 *'''Päron.''' Neutral, slang/standard. Means “one's folk(s)” in plural and can be used as an alternative to "farsa" (pop/pops) and "morsa" (mum/ma).
 *'''Älder.''' Neutral, formal, nonstandard, little use. An abbreviation of förälder.[https://folkmun.se/definition/%C3%84lder][https://spraktidningen.se/nyord/]
-*'''Nälder.''' Specifically non-binary, nonstandard. Means non-binary parent, combination of "älder/förälder" and the "n" from "enby/NB/non-binary".
 *'''Förre.''' Neutral, informal, nonstandard, little use. Förre is a simplification of the word förälder. It provides a parental alternative that can be used to refer to a parent completely gender-neutral.[https://www.rfsl.se/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/RFSL_Att-bli-och-vara-foralder_ett-foraldrastodjande-material-for-hbtqi-personer.pdf][https://spraktidningen.se/nyord/][https://folkmun.se/definition/F%C3%B6rre]
 *'''Föffe.''' Neutral, informal, nonstandard, little use. Föffe is a simplification of the word förälder. It provides a parental alternative that can be used to refer to a parent completely gender-neutral. Föffe is also a good alternativ to the words matte (female pet-owner) and husse (male pet-owner).[https://www.rfsl.se/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/RFSL_Att-bli-och-vara-foralder_ett-foraldrastodjande-material-for-hbtqi-personer.pdf][https://spraktidningen.se/nyord/][https://folkmun.se/definition/F%C3%B6ffe]

 *'''Telning, ättling, avkomma/avkomling.''' Neutral, would sound weird in conversation. "Telning" is an uncommon word that basically means progeny (or more directly the botanical term "scion" or "shoot"), "ättling" and "avkomma/avkomling" are standard words that mean "descendant" and "offspring" respectively. They can be used as alternatives to refer to someone in relation to them being one's child, but not necesserily a young child agewise.
 * '''Äldsta/förstfödda, mellan-/andra-/trejde-/fjärde-/... födda, yngsta/sistfödda.''' Neutral. Means oldest/first-born, middle-/second-/third-/fourth-/...-born and youngest/last-born. They can be used as alternatives to refer to someone in relation to them being one's child in a gender-neutral way but also as to not necesserily specify them being a young child agewise.
-* '''Nesser.''' Specifically non-binary, nonstandard English neo-loanword. Means non-binary child/descendent, based on "en" from "enby/NB/non-binary".
 '''Kompis/vän, (klass)kamrat.''' Neutral, standard. Means "friend" and (class)mate, these can be used when talking to children about other children/classmates instead of saying "boys and/or girls".

 *'''Kusin.''' Neutral, standard. Means cousin.
 *'''Föräldrakusin/förkusin.''' Neutral, nonstandard, föräldrakusin will be understood, förkusin has little use. Means parent's cousin.[https://folkmun.se/][https://spraktidningen.se/nyord/?]
