*'''Förför/Förrförr.''' Neutral, nonstandard. Means grandy/grandma/grandpa. Förför, or alternatively förrförr, ought to be pronounced with "short ö:s" to not confuse it with the word "förför" which means "seduce" (which is pronounced with a short first ö and long second ö). Förför/förrförr is an alternative that fits well together in the pattern of mormor (maternal mother, standard), farmor (paternal mother, standard), morfar (maternal father, standard) and farfar (paternal father, standard).
