Europic
Pronunciation
- Europic Phonology: /ni.ko.ʧa.ʃa.mu/
Etymology
From nikotcu ‘grandson’ + -camu ‘spouse’.
Noun
nikotca-camu
- spouse of grandson, grandchild-in-law
- An overly-specific term that would be used in place of nika-camu in normal speech only in a case where one wanted to specify that the relative in question was married to one’s grandson rather than one’s granddaughter. There are additionally even more specific terms such as nikotca-caminu ‘grandson’s wife’ and nikotca-camotcu ‘grandson’s husband’ which are usually reserved for legal documents or other language that needs to be very precise.
