another person, or who has one of them only. In the latter
case he is more definitely called a half brother, or

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.
