   how to refer to half-cousins?

   We share a however-many-greats grandfather that makes us fourth cousins,   
   but not the corresponding mother (he's descended from George Surtees'   
   first wife, I'm descended from George's second [of three!]).   
      
   What are we:   
   half fourth cousins?   
   fourth half-cousins?   
   Something else?   
      
   And how would one describe the relationship between two people where the   
   halfness (?) is part way up the arms - or, as I _think_ is the case,   
   does that not arise (as it wouldn't be relevant)?
