zawj (husband )

Zawjah (wife)

For nephew we have two meanings 

1-son of  the sister = ibn  el ukht

My sister's son =ibn ukhti 

2-son of the brother =ibn el akh 

My brother's son = ibn akhi 

For niece we have Also 2 synonyms

1-sister's daughter =ebnat ukht 

My sister's daughter = ebnat ukhti 

2-brother's daughter = ebnat akh 

My brother's daughter = ebnat akhi 

Summary : for nephew we fix the word son ( ebn )and we change the next word according to if he is brother's son ( ibn akh ) or sister's son ( ibn ukht ) and the same in niece we fix daughter ( ibnah or ibnat here )and change whether sister's or brother's daughter .

to avoid confusion just translate it in literal meaning as sister's son = ibn ukht we only replace the first is the second and the second is the first as in french
