Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
ܝܵܠܵܕ݇ܐ • (yālā) m (plural ܝܵܠܹ̈ܕ݇ܐ (yālē), feminine ܝܵܠܕ݇ܬܵܐ (yāltā))
- child (especially a boy; male)
- ܐܝܼܡܲܢ ܟܹܐ ܓܲܪܘܸܣ، ܝܵܠܵܕ݇ܐ ܒܸܬ ܦܵܝܹܫ ܓܲܒ݂ܪܵܐ.
- īman kē garwis, yālā bit pāyēš gaḇrā.

Usage notes edit
- The plural ܝܵܠܹ̈ܕ݇ܐ (yālē) 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 ܝܵܠܕ݇ܬܵܐ (yāltā) 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.
