[Facts] A list
in reply to a message by E.
There's:oma (German)bubbe (Yiddish)babushka (Russian)abuelita (Spanish)obaasan (Japanese) [pronounced with a quick long o-bahah
{silent h}-sahn]sobo (Japanese) [pronounced so-bo {quick long o on both syllables}]I can find out more if you'd like (the Japanese pronunciations are kinda difficult to transcribe into romanji since inflection also plays a role in what the word means.)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)
