The third example of this would be someone who is kin with someone of a gender, without that someone being specific. For example, someone may be kin to a man, but not know who this man is, what this man's name or appearance is, what this man has experienced in their lifetime, etc. All they know is that their kintype is a man, regardless of whether they are a man in their current lifetime.
