Thank you,

So apparently there no single word in Persian meaning siblings.

Hi

You said "a term". 

A term is a word or expression with a specific meaning, especially one which is used in relation to a particular subject

And

An expression is a word or phrase. 

 

And finally:

A phrase is a short group of words that people often use as a way of saying something.

Hi,

In my question I specifically stated "single word/term", term being terminology. I am not arguing for the sake of argument, I am just trying to learn here. I am amazed how sometimes Persian language lacks. Now I know the shortest equivalent to siblings is a compound term you stated above.

Hi

As you, I was looking for the equivalent and in the fullness of time I came to the above translation.

What are you guys talking about! what about همشیره ?

چرا در متون قدیمی میگفتن "همشکمان" یا "همشیران" ولی امروزه دیگه از این کلمات استفاده نمیشه.

Thank you Mr.Hamsadeh, I guess the best choice would be 

همشیره
