*'''Wawa.''' Neutral, informal, nonstandard, little use. Wawa is pronounced with "English w:s". Wawa is similar to mamma (mom) and pappa (dad) in that it consists of repetitive phonemes that are physically easy for smaller children to pronounce. Wawa is a good addition among the Swedish parental words as it provides a completely gender-neutral alternative with similarities of mamma and pappa that do not have an origin in the gender binary.[https://spraktidningen.se/nyord/][https://folkmun.se/definition/Wawa] | *'''Wawa.'''
