another person, or who has one of them only. In the latter
case he is more definitely called a
half brother, or
brother of the half blood.
Note: A brother having the same mother but different fathers
is called a
uterine brother, and one having the same
father but a different mother is called an
agnate brother
, or in (Law) a
consanguine brother. A
brother having the same father and mother is called a
brother-german or
full brother. The same modifying
terms are applied to
sister or
sibling.
