Usage notes
[edit]- 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”).
