Acchamma.
But we also had, as a kind of funny one:
Muthashi (grandmum) and
Muthasha (grandad)
I knew they existed as words, but never quite figured out how they worked in the scheme of things. In any case, we kids picked up for my father's parents what my parents called them, so they wer Accha and Amma to us. And my mother's father was so proud of the fact that we were kind of English ("An Englishman never lies. His word is his bond" And he wore a Hitler mmoustache!) that they were always called Grandad and Granny. Hey, what's the point of being consistent when it's family?
