The only other possibility I could see is, if wasn't a breeding male, and him and his wife running away since they "had a child" not under the proper rules of their tribe. The fact that they "were" in Idyllshire might support this as I believe it is unlawful for a male to breed if he is not a nuhn.
Not every Seeker of the Sun follows the traditional lifestyle. Just like with many other races who have scattered across the continents and taken up new lives in major city-states, some Seekers of the Sun no longer live in full out hunting tribes with a single Nuhn, etc. Compare the U Tribe to NPCs like H'naanza or the sisters from the Alchemist quest line. So while it might be unusual for members of a Seeker tribe to run away together and start a monogamous relationship, it's probably not entirely unheard of.

If I recall correctly, Leih Aliapoh's family was killed, leaving her orphaned, so we can probably assume she is not a direct sister to Khloe and Zhloe. I believe that some Keeper last names are said to have been passed down for hundreds (or maybe it was thousands?) of years, so it's highly likely there are many, many Aliapohs at this point, all of them related but lots probably only distantly. Cousins or the like.
