2. children, people (collective) Used generically for 'children' without specific male reference or to denote members of a community collectively, as confirmed by Korean janyeodeul (자녀들 = children, gender-neutral) rather than adeul (아들 = son), Swahili watoto (children) rather than wana (sons), and Hindi bachche (बच्चे = children) rather than putra (पुत्र = son). 12×

3. young of animals Offspring of animals such as calves, cubs, or nestlings, clearly distinguished from the human 'son' sense by Arabic using entirely different roots (ijl/ashbal = عِجْل/أشبال for calves/cubs, not ibn/bani), Korean using saekki/songaji (새끼/송아지 = animal young/calf, not adeul), and Swahili using ndama (calf, not mwana).
