| Sep 8, 2017 at 22:52 | comment | added | user32862 | @FFN genitor would be the biological "father" in this case, viewed more like a sperm donor in this culture. He may be a close family friend or the women's current lover, but he would have no actual rights to the child in the way he would in our society. Pater would be the actual "father" in the sense that he would help raise and take care of the child, usually a cousin or brother of the mother. | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 22:31 | comment | added | FFN | I'm very interested in the difference between pater and genitor. If you could elaborate on that, maybe I can think of an interesting answer. Also, consider that many things in human development are sociological, not biological. This means that a child may develop traits similar to the ones his pater displays, even if the pater played no part in creating the child. | |

Unless you literally mean 'spirits' as in mysti-magical stuff, I've got no answer ... Why not just use that culture you're citing as your inspiration? | |

| Jun 29, 2017 at 23:01 | comment | added | user32862 | I meant a piece of their spirit that gradially grows. | |
| Jun 29, 2017 at 22:53 | comment | added | Arvex | If the biological father were to pass on their spirit, then would they not die in the process? That sounds like population growth would be impossible. Without a high rate of twins being born, the population would at best break even with mortality rates. Or do you mean a piece of their spirit? | |
| Jun 29, 2017 at 22:52 | comment | added | AlexP | "The spirit [...] possessed the consciousness of a person; morals, values, strengths, etc." What does this have to do with biology? This is education. A child receives their morals, values, strengths, and so on, from their educators. See the ancient concept of paideia. | |
