hmm.. that's a good question. I think that in english one could use the
word "it" for a child,if it was very-very young. I know for sure that in
greek you can refer to child by using "it".

what about klingon though ? could i refer to a child in klingon using the
word "it" ? after all if it is still a baby,it can't speak yet.
