How about using the lujvo "tenki'i", defined:as: ko'a ckini ko'e lo tenfa be ko'i bei ko'o

Why tenfa not pilji?

Because "the great-great-grandparent of x" is P(P(P(P(x)))) = P^4(x) with P "the parent of x".

pilji would work for this for example:

    lo ka famti cu pilji lo ka tunba kei lo ka rirni
