「妹」

Ku=turespo analyzes the complete クツレシポ as “my dear younger sister,” using the documented prefix ku= and sister form turespo. Batchelor explicitly gives both younger sister and dear sister. The corpus has turespo in a narrative and a dictionary, plus a dependent bot copy; no exact ku=turespo occurs. Turesipo is also found, sometimes for a betrothed woman, and remains a comparison for the syllable sequence. The compound’s meaning is supported compositionally, with its exact form and intended relationship still qualified.
