derbfhine, derbfine, derbhfhine, dearbhfhine, deirbhfhine. Family group of four generations, the descendants of a common greatgrandfather, in early Ireland and Gaelic Scotland; the normal property-owning unit and unit for dynastic succession, as any male member of a king's derbfhine—son, uncle, brother, nephew—might succeed him. In short, primogeniture did not prevail; property and power did not go automatically to the eldest legitimate male. See T. M. Charles-Edwards,
Early Irish and Welsh Kinship (Oxford, 1993); Nerys T. Patterson,
