Fine: close family incorporating the nucleus of father mother, children and grandchildren - generally centered around a head of household whether male or female depending on circumstances (generally the father).

Derbfine: extended family generally accepted to include one generation beyond the ‘fine’ (though there is some discussion about this) including cousins, great-grandparents and other relatives similarly related

Iarfine: the most extended family related by similar blood ties. This probably accords with what we think of as a clann, but there is a lot of difference of opinion on this in the scholarly community.
