If the deceased has no paternal or maternal uncle but has a maternal uncle father's paternal uncle and a grandfather's paternal uncle or a grandfather's maternal uncle, for example, the inheritance shall belong to the father's paternal uncle, to the exclusion of the grandfather's paternal or maternal uncle.
