Tja Zmjd, I already suspected my request was too demanding. The term for male cousin is cousin? Or male cousin? (only one tiny a?)No? Then I'll go on using he-cousin and she-cousin. With or without hyphen?
Why do you need a single word in English? Both your coinages sound VERY alien to this native English speaker's ears, and would likely be as jarring to others, also. If the aim is natural-sounding English, "he/she cousin", whether with or without a hyphen, would be a noticeable step in the opposite direction.
