************
As far as I know Turkish, the word for <grandmother> in Turkish is
<büyükanne>, compound formed by adjective <büyük> 'big, grand' and
<anne> 'mother'. But, it could by that by reduplication of the stem
<anne+anne> it means also <grandmother>. I think that reduplication
is also characteristic for familiar dictionary: mama, papa, tata, but
it didn't attach the meaning, having just the expressive function.
