What this means
Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.
Does not imply an independently established biological relationship · agreement between accounts · marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing · shared parentage in every account · descent from the same generation in a single tree

How Uranus connects
