بُنْيَّ my son

The affectionate small-form (diminutive) of 'son' with a first-person 'my' attached, so one word says 'my dear little son'. The diminutive signals tenderness rather than literal smallness, an intimate way to address the child. After the call-particle it is the one being directly addressed.
