"Father" is chichi, which at some point in the past must have been titi. But tata is not a kinship term in Japanese. | |
| Dec 18, 2016 at 13:38 | comment | added | Swift | Explains why in Russian pope is called papa to advantage of being used for puns, while second word, popa.. is.. "cushioning" word that means butt (well, like English "rump") | |

| Dec 18, 2016 at 13:32 | comment | added | Swift | Is it safe to assume that Vatican leader's name is related to greek or latin word too? Curiously today slavic languages use papa as affection of child to father, while at least in case of Ukrainian and Russian just a hundred years ago "tyatya" or "tata" was a child word. Contrary, in Japanese "tata" is mother | |
