        Native English speaker, my favorite god bit is mormor is literally “mom’s mom”, where as your other grandma would be morfar (dad’s mom); there’s maternal/paternal lineage built in.

        Also in Norwegian (probably most scandavian) grand children get the same treatment. Barne is child so your grandchild, your child’s child, is your barnebarne.
