The definition “birth” is Inherited from Aramaic יַלְדָּא (yalədā), Proto-Semitic *walad-; compare Arabic وَلَد (walad), Hebrew יֶלֶד (yéled) and Persian یلدا (yaldâ). The form ܝܲܠܕܵܐ (yaldā) of the first two definitions is a semantic matching with Classical Syriac, and may be considered a separate word as a learned borrowing from Classical Syriac. This word in the first two meanings displaced the form ܐܝܵܠܵܐ (īyālā) written in early 17-18th century texts, and is almost certainly borrowed from Arabic عِيَال (ʕiyāl, “children”). This as such accounts for an initial /ʔ/ still maintained in some dialects, and has largely displaced the native ܝܲܠܘܼܕ݂ܵܐ (yalūḏā).

Noun
[edit]ܝܲܠܕܵܐ or ܝܵܠܵܕ݇ܐ • (yaldā or yālā) m (plural ܝܲܠܕܹ̈ܐ (yaldē), feminine ܝܲܠܕܬܵܐ (yaldtā))
- a boy, male child
- ܐܝܼܡܲܢ ܕܟܹܐ ܪܵܒ݂ܹܐ، ܝܲܠܕܵܐ ܒܸܬ ܦܵܐܹܫ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܵܐ. ― īman d-kē rāḇē, yaldā bit pāˀēš gaḇrā. ― When he grows up, the boy will become a man.

- ܟܡܵܐ ܝܲܠܕܹ̈ܐ ܐܝܼܬ݂ ܠܵܘܟ݂ܘܿܢ؟ ― kmā yaldē īṯ lāwḵōn? ― How many children do you have?
Usage notes
[edit]- The plural is used to refer to children or offspring of mixed or indifferent sex while ܒܢܘܿܢܹ̈ܐ (bnōnē) is used to specify male offspring.
- Traditionally, this word is masculine and refers to children of either sex. A feminine form did not exist, and does not exist in many dialects, but in some dialects the word ܝܲܠܕܬܵܐ (yaldtā) is used to refer to girls instead. Thus, in these dialects that employ a feminine form, this masculine form is strictly for a male child.
