So I noticed in a lojban dictionary file (I forget where I found it) that there is a word "mampa'u" for maternal grand father. This makes sense but can such a lujvo exist for grand mothers? For grandfathers you could have pafpa'u and mampa'u but there is no rafsi for "mother" that ends in a vowel so can it be done without having the much longer sounding pafmamta. And in the case of maternal grand mother the situation is even worse since you can't double consonants (eg mammamta). How should maternal grand mothers be called?
