Tricky Kanji Quiz! How do you read 【続柄】?

It was a pity! The correct reading of 【続柄】 was "tsuzukigara"!
When you look up "ぞくがら" in a dictionary, it is written as "続柄(つづきがら)の俗な言い方", meaning "a colloquial way of saying '続柄'". Conversely, in the entry for "つづきがら," it is written as "続(き)柄."
Originally, it was common to omit the okurigana "き" and spell it as "続き柄"【ぞくがら】, which led to the spread of the incorrect reading "ぞくがら".
Currently, "ぞくがら" may not be considered incorrect as an idiomatic reading, but it is important to remember the correct Japanese language.
