         DefinitionShort: the mother of one’s own mother or father (with a possible connotation of affection)

         Glosses: grandmother

         Comments: In a number of languages it is necessary to distinguish between the grandmother on one’s father’s side and the grandmother on one’s mother’s side. There is no positive indication in {S:05500100500026} as to the particular relationship involved, but one may assume that the grandmother Lois was the mother of Eunice, and therefore it would be the grandmother on the mother’s side.
