Benjamin Vaughan Abbott · 1879

One of tenants in coparcenary, q. V. Parcenary is in use as the equivalent of coparcenary. But we judge the best nomenclature of the subject to be to use coparcenary as the name of the estate or relation; to call the tenants, when spoken of collectively, coparceners; to use parcener when speaking of a single tenant in coparcenary; and to disuse parcenary altogether.
