>Did "pinu" mean "son" or "child"? Any relation to Semitic binu?

The translation for Hattic /pinu/ as I've seen it is "child". However,
the words "son" and "child" are pretty close semantically. Whether it has
a relationship to "binu" or not... I don't know. On the other hand, could
the Semitic word be borrowed from Hattic? Hmmm...
