Usage notes
[edit]The only cited occurence of this word is in combination with γένεσις (génesis), where the whole phrase is given in LSJ (under γένεσις) as 'genitalia muliebria', literally "a woman's genitals". Most (older) lexica resist clearly defining words that they deem to be obscene, and this is such a case.
