Sum of parts, oncle +‎ paternel. What more can I say? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

What you are treating here is not a single case but a cluster of cases. And this should be presented as a cluster, not as an isolated case. The cluster includes paternal uncle, maternal uncle, paternal aunt, maternal aunt, paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother and likely fraternal nephew, fraternal niece, sororal nephew, sororal niece, and maybe some other cases included in Category:Family.
I assume that paternal uncle is a brother of one's father. But the definition in paternal uncle also includes brother-in-law of one's father. I don't feel qualified to tell what should happen per CFI, but I see no harm in these entries, and they make the existence of the listed phrases explicit. The Czech word-for-word analog of "paternal uncle"--"otcovský strýc"--is found in Google web as very rare and not attestable. Some of the listed terms would pass the so far unaccepted "translations target" proposal, e.g. per Swedish farmor. --Dan Polansky 22:06, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
