Those who claim there was no Greek word meaning cousin are obviously lying to us.


That isn’t what they were saying. They were arguing that adelphos could also mean cousin.

But again, it strains the context.

Well I've heard both but there is no "cousin" in the link you gave. Trying to get "cousin" out of adelphos is stretching beyond reason.
