| lexeme | wald | |
| meaning 1 | son; boy | |
| direction | — | |
| meaning 2 | child | |
| reference | CDG: 613 | |
| comment | The original meaning of Proto-EthS *wald- (and *lVd-) ‘son’ was probably ‘boy’ as in the case of its immediate parallels in Hebrew (yäläd, HALOT 412) and Arabic (walad-, Lane 2966). All these terms are derived from PS *wld ‘to bear’, widely attested both withing and outside EthS (SED I No. 80v). Lack of lexical distinction between the meanings “son” and “boy”/”child” — similar to bēn vs. yäläd in Hebrew — observable throughout EthS is atypical for Semitic languages and might be due to the substratum influence.

Georgian švili (შვილი) does not show age at all, it only indicates parent-child ties.
Old English ċild and bearn both translate "child," but they bear somewhat different shades of meaning. Bearn refers to a child of someone, and is most often found in possessive phrases such as "his child" and "her child"—like Modern English "son" and "daughter," but gender-neutral. Ċild only occasionally appears in those contexts but is the default word in all others—a gender-neutral term for "boy" or "girl." This difference can be seen in derived compounds such as ċildhād (“childhood”) and bearnlīest (“childlessness”)
