On the other hand, we do say {baS 'In} for "metal drum", so why not {loD ghu} for "male baby"..

But the difference is, that in the {baS 'In} case, there can be no ambiguity, 'a in the {loD ghu}, one could mistake this as "baby (child) of a man".

Would you accept {loD ghu}, {be' ghu} for "male baby", "female baby" ?
