There is no specific word for maternal vs paternal grandparrents both sides are called the same thing.
Gido = Grandfather
Giditi= Grandmother
another term is Teta which is another word for grandmother which still applies to both maternal and paternal.
There is a maternal/paternal difference when talking about aunts and uncles though.
