  • Description: [...]a grandparent is regarded with more deference and respect than a parent, and disrespect to a grandparent is believed to be ritually punished by an automatic attack'of sickness, madness, or even death. Loeb writes as though this were a general mode of address, but also that 'when the man marries again his children call him ukui [translated as 'father'] In case there is no remarriage the person retains the title teteu' [Loeb, 1928, pp. 422-3]. Morris writes si-botok for a childless widower, td-tdu for a widower with children, and si-luman for a widow [Morris, 1900, p. 333]; while Kruyt gives the impression that siloemang is a term of reference and teteoe a term of address [Kruyt. 1923, p. 179]. According to the latter, so long as a child's father is a widower or his mother a widow he addresses either as teteoe, but after a remarriage he calls the parent father or mother- [Kruyt, p. 4].
