Maternal grandfather.

But to be correct in Navajo it cannot stand alone like this. It is a type of word that can only occur grammatically in the possessive.

So, properly : shicheii - my maternal grandfather.

nicheii - your m. grandfather

acheii- someones

bicheii- his/her/it's

and so on.

Sometimes Navajo English slang it is used not in the possessive and can just refer to an older man.
