Page 11 of G- IttHW is written from a GodLearner point of view, so i take
GodLearnerish sources to figure out the details:

Umath is the son of Aether, the primal God of Light, and Ga (or Gata), the
primal Goddess of Earth.
Yelm came to existance without a goddess involved, he is the son of Aether
alone.

That makes Umath and Yelm half-brothers.
And Yelm is Orlanth uncle.


Have a look at "Wyrms Footprint", or if you whant to look up the
generalogies more detailed: look at the diagrams in "Wyrms Footnotes" (which
unfortunately haven´t made it into "Wyrms Footprint").
