see the discussion in the 兄弟愛 entry.
(we tag きょうだい as ik in the 姉妹 entry. "irregular" rather than "incorrect", I suppose)
姉妹愛	9413
  Comments:
went with "affection between sisters" rather than "sisterly affection" in an attempt to make it clear it's between two sisters and 
can't be used to refer to a sister's affection for her younger or older brother.

"sororal love"?
