marking descent in Carthage?

 okay, from what I've learned in this group thus far, the people of Carthage
spoke a Semitic language.

 so, how did they mark lines of descent?

 ie, in Hebrew we have _ben_ (son of) and _bat_ (daughter of)...and in
Arabic, we have _bin_ (son of) and _bint_ (daughter of).

 in Carthage, what would we have?  *curious*

 thanks.
