Mamó
Mamowe (pronounced)
is the Irish equivalent of
Gran/Granny
do you want the formal term?
It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.

The formal translation is
Seanmháthair.
or
Máthair mhór

We used say Seanmháthair (Shan waw hir) for Grandmother
and Seanathair (Shan ah hir) for Grandfather.
My translations may be basic, and you should maybe wait for corroboration from others.
