or perhaps creating one....

I am looking for something that might be the equivalent of step-father or foster-father---

There is the word berio- meaning to protect which I could change to berior (?) meaning protector, or there is the word odhron meaning parent.

I was hoping for something along the lines of gwanur vs. gwador (brother/sworn brother).

Thoughts?

How about haeronadar ('ae' might change 'e' or 'é'?) meaning 'distant father', i.e. unrelated?

Come to think of it that could mean 'ancestor' so how about edwenadar 'second father'?
