jemen inah

Mokilese

Etymology

jemen (“father of”) + inah (“one's mother”)

Noun

jemen inah

  1. maternal grandfather

Usage notes

Like many kinship terms in Mokilese, jemen inah has no non-possessive form; the third person singular possessive form (one's/his/her/its maternal grandfather) is therefore treated as the lemma.
