喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Relating to a father, or coming from the father's side of the family — your paternal grandmother is your father's mother, not your mother's. It can also describe caring, protective behavior that reminds people of a father, like paternal advice — though this can sometimes carry a hint of someone acting a bit too controlling, like they know best.

    • Divide what? The estate that came from the father to the son. Amongst whom? The paternal brothers. If it means, that paternals and maternals shall now divide, as paternals formerly did, the whole sentence operates nothing; for without, the half blood on both sides, would have taken. But say it establishes a well-known standard to divide by, and that this standard excludes the maternals, then every word, as well as this word "only," has a material effect and energy.
    • If there are both paternal and maternal uncles and aunts, the maternals take a third, even if there is only one of them, and whether male or female, and the paternals two-thirds, even though there is only one of them, and whether male or female. If the maternals are of one kind, a male has the portion of two females.
