Abstract
The article revolves around the present-day transformation of the triangular to pentagon kinship in Simalungunese, Indonesia.Essentially, transformation is a mechanism for connecting and kinship endurance between the first two generations and the next three after losing parents. This study suggests that this transformation is a renewal process used to restructure resources to maintain commitment, support, participation, and solidarity within a changing society. Kinship serves as a communal reference, a source of motivation, and a social symbol that categorizes and bridges relations and networks. In conclusion, kinship endurance relies on the rope and compass of current and future relationships.
