Whoa... the words for father and maternal grandfather are close enough to cause confusion for us beginners! Shizheʼé vs. Shicheii. I guess with matrilineal kinship, you might think of your maternal grandfather as closer than the paternal one -- almost as close a relative as your dad -- so the similarity in pronunciation is sort of logical?? At least, maybe this will help me remember...
