Since Aaliyah and Oba's grandmother are ilmaadeero because they r both khaatumites (euphemism for certain clan), this makes Aaliyah Oba's grandmother in a tribal sense.

lool, ok let's try again. In the Somali culture the siblings and cousins of ur grandparents are also considered to be ur grandparents. Also in the Somali culture u can consider someone of the same clan as you to be a cousin. So since Aaliyah and Oba's grandmother hail from the same clan they r cousins. This means Aaliyah can also be considered Oba's grandmother in a ceremonial tribal sense, as opposed to through close blood relations.

Reeyo it is not that complicated you will get the hang of it. If someone's mom is for example from boorame she will call all reer awdal abti or habaryar. It is basically to respect the relation. Marka Oba waa my grandson..Lol
