It's interesting to note that in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, the word "child" has the same form for both genders: "wnāyā". Also, the word for "family" or "household" is "bētā", which follows the same root as the Hebrew word "beit" (בית) meaning "house". | |||
Let's have a dialogue with these basic family members: | |||

* Person 2: ܐܠܦ (elp) (older) ܕܠܬܐ (dltā) (sister) means "older sister" | |||
