Neft(on) > Nibling
I hate the word nibling. this is ok to say cause some random guy created it
so we should use neft as the gender neutral nephew / niece instead
I have reasoning for this,
1. It is extremely similar to the Old English word nift (niece)
2. It isn´t just a play on words with (N)ephew/(N)iece and s(IBLING)
3. I made it from the PIE root h₂népōt and tried to evolve it down into 
sort of old french/ old english  and created Neft from it, so it has the same
etymology (sort of) as niece and nephew
4. it doesnt sound like you're eating your neft, like nibling does
(not the smilarity with nibbling)
pls use neft instead of nibling
