Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before NK1-3 and its value arrives as NK1-2, so the receiver stores Relationship as Name.

This page carries the NK1 field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for NK1.
