  1. Pertaining to the state of pairing together sexually; said of animals during periods of procreation and while rearing their offspring. not-comparable

    — Two forms of the family had appeared before the syndiasmian, and created two great systems of consanguinity, or rather two distinct forms of the same system, but this third family neither produced a new system nor sensibly modified the old. The syndiasmian family continued for an unknown period of time enveloped in a system of consanguinity, false, in the main, to existing relationships, and which it had no power to break. This was reserved for monogamy, the coming power, able to dissolve the fabric.
