All Mohawk kinship terms are essentially verb forms, each containing a pronoun prefix, a verb root and an aspect suffix. In the case of "my granddaughter" the prefix has to be khe-, indicating a female relative younger than myself. The verb form is -sotha', indicating being two generations apart - so khesotha' means "she is my granddaughter".
