In baby talk, the Hopi word for "grandmother" is "so'o". In adult, it's "so('at)", and in this form it is a patrilineal reference. There is an excellent dictionary, "Hopiikwa Lavaytutuveni". Last I knew there were a few copies left at Amazon.com, if you can afford $750US. Otherwise, google the Hopi Cultural Center. They have all the other available copies.
