What do you call a distant cousin when she marries your uncle?
Yesterday she was your cousin, today she is your aunt. Cajiib.

Aayo basically means the wife of your father and both your maternal and paternal uncles. I called them Eedo and habaryar it depends on how I related to them.
I would never call another woman 'hooyo' out of respect whether she is my step mother or mother in law, the title is only deserve my mother.
