Kin systems are systems that form headmates from their kintypes. Their kintypes are not headmates or a part of the system on their, but rather introtives of those kintypes are formed and become a part of the system. Introtives of kintypes are also called kinforms. Not every system who identifies as kin or has headmates who are kin fits this definition uses this term.[1][2]
