Yes, you are speaking of Greek.
But Matthew was written in Hebrew, and Hebrew does not have a word for 'cousins' to distingush defferent level of kinships, just the word 'adelphos'.

Matthew was written in Greek, though we have reasons to believe that a Hebrew or Aramaic version of Matthew once existed.
