The Spanish words for "child", according to Wiktionary, are hijo/hija depending upon the gender (masculine or feminine, respectively) of the person in question. The Arabic pronouns for "he" and "she" are هو huwa/هي hiya, again depending upon the gender. Perhaps the similarities could cause a different set of pronouns for children than for adults?
