Usage notes

Unlike English, the Esperanto terms for "cousin" are gendered. kuzino means a female cousin, whereas

kuzo
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kuzo#Esperanto
traditionally means a male cousin, although it is losing this maleness from the influence of gender-neutral usage by English-speaking Esperantists.

To avoid misunderstandings when referring to a cousin irrespective of gender, some use the prefix

ge-
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ge-#Esperanto
and say
gekuzo
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gekuzo#Esperanto
.
