We should also have some mechanism by which to easily specify the degree of similarity. "jutsi" is, heh, not specific in its x1 value nor in the spacing between any two consecutive sumti slots. Give the fractalic nature of the organization of life and the arbitrarity involved in segmenting a continuous thing, I would argue that the narrowest degree accommodated by this word should be to eat oneself, followed by one's close kin, and then more distant kin (perhaps metaphorically – memetic/cultural clades are independent organization from genetic/biological ones). Then, yes, it does include eating a member of the same species, without reference to how distant they are from the subject in any given sense. But if we stop here, which is more or less what English "cannibalize" does, then we are missing out on some wider possibilities and also drawing arbitrary distinctions in a continuum and between hierarchical levels. Does eating an early H. sapiens count? How about a a Neanderthal? H. erectus? Lucy? A modern chimpanzee? Our most recent common ancestor with that of modern chimpanzees? How about a jellyfish? And so forth. My point is that "jutsi" allows for more inclusive levels of the hierarchy, so we should embrace the possibility. This word should be able to the eating of a member of one's own genus and greater taxa/clades. Ultimately, the eating of any member of the same connected tree of life without further specification of graph geodesic distance or clade would constitute the broadest form of cannibalism. We currently believe that all life on Earth, which is our only example of life in the universe, shares a single origin; thus, the eating of any other known organism would constitute this broad cannibalism. We should account for the range of possibilities between eating oneself and eating one's most distant relative on the tree of life.
Obviously, for some of these concepts, we could use more specific terms. Eating oneself could be given its own word, for example. And maybe eating a distant relative on the tree of life could be given its own word. But they should all fall under the umbrella of cannibalism with a specifiable degree of closeness.
