Bin & Bint
A terminal "t" is a common marker of grammatical and sexual femininity in Semitic languages. For example, in Classical Arabic: "bin" is "son", "bint" is "daughter" or "girl".
"Bint" was borrowed into English from British infantry slang used by soldiers posted to various Middle Eastern countries in the middle of the nineteenth century, where it was used as an insulting term for any Arab woman.
"Bin" commonly appears as a patronymic prefix in hundreds of Arabic surnames, including the notorious "bin Laden". In Arabic surnames its sense is "descendant of ..." Hebrew uses "bin"'s cognate equivalent in Jewish surnames, e.g. "ben Gurion".
"Shulamit" is a familiar female name today in modern Israel. It is also seen as "Shelomit", "Shulamite", and "Shulamith" or contracted to "Shula". Jews in the West sometimes change it to "Sheila".
