You're more likely to get an answer on the WorldofGlorantha list. (Especially if you want an answer from Greg Stafford.)

Yes, your recollection is correct. And you probably also recall that KoDP operates at the clan level, not the individual level, and abstracts a number of things.

In any case, in KoDP it's always "the ancestors" collectively. Which I think is entirely consistent with more recent publications that are detail-oriented.
