Kuku

Grandmother; grandfather; classically used in reference to grandmother, but can also be used to refer to grandfather. Kuku can also be an uncle or aunt. Kuku can also be said or written Meme kulu (grandmother) or Tate kulu (grandfather), to avoid confusion. But when greeting in Oshindonga you always say, "Owa lalapo kuku?" (Good morning grandmother/grandfather/uncle/aunt), which literally means "Have you slept [usually well] grandmother/grandfather/uncle/aunt?" or "Owa la lalapo nawa kuku?" which means "Have you slept well grandmother/grandfather/uncle/aunt?"
