Aramaic for grandfather? - judge - 08-22-2004
Does Aramaic have a word for grandfather?

Shlama Akhi Michael,
Yes, the word is "Sawa" (#13679). It literally means "old/aged" but is used idiomatically to mean "grandfather" and the feminine form "Sawtha" is used for "grandmother."
"Great Grandfather" would be "Sawa Rabba".
