I'm interested to know whether this is common usage and how far back it goes. Tūtū is obviously not 'õiwi, but beyond that I understand the idea of a single person being your grandparent doesn't really fit the traditional Hawaiian idea of 'ohana. However I imagine that traditional structure is probably less common today except maybe on Ni'ihau. Just curious.
