Seminole kinship terms, like those of most native American groups, are far more complex than in English.

In Seminole the word for grandfather (capoca) is applied to the father's father, the mother's father and to the brothers and sisters of these; to any old men of the same generation and to the husband of any woman termed "grandmother".

"Big grandfather" (capoca-lakko) is applied to members of the father's father's and mother's father's clans (regardless of sex), other than those relatives already noted.
