The Chiricahua language has four different words for grandparent: "-chú" "maternal grandmother", "-tsúyé" "maternal grandfather", "-chʼiné" "paternal grandmother", "-nálé" "paternal grandfather". Additionally, a grandparent's siblings are identified by the same word; thus, one's maternal grandmother, one's maternal grandmother's sisters, and one's maternal grandmother's brothers are all called "-chú". Furthermore, the grandparent terms are reciprocal, that is, a grandparent will use the same term to refer to their grandchild in that relationship. For example, a person's maternal grandmother will be called "-chú" and that maternal grandmother will also call that person "-chú" as well (i.e. "-chú" can mean the child of either your own daughter or your sibling's daughter.)
