Interesting! Reminds me in Japanese how you can (almost) tell what a sibling is composed of just by looking at the kanji characters. These are ALL read as "kyoudai":
兄弟：Elder brother, younger brother
姉弟：Elder sister, younger brother
兄妹：Elder brother, younger sister
The 4th remaining case is 姉妹, and is read "shimai".
