co-parents-in-law

1. Is there any reason why this should have the plural as lemma? The singular is attested;
2. the second definition needs rewording. It’s not “the relationship […] ” but “people having the relationship […] ” (I can’t think of a way of doing it elegantly);
3. looking at google books:"co-parent-in-law"|"co-parents-in-law", it seems the most common use is in translating languages that have a single word for this. Is this worth mentioning in the usage notes? Or maybe a context label like chiefly anthropology and linguistics.

1. Not AFAICT.
2. It does.
3. Both usage notes and context label may be warranted, as they indicate different aspects of usage. DCDuring TALK 14:28, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

• I removed the second definition, singularized the lemma, and TTBC'd a few things. --Spreaderofwords (talk) 11:56, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
