Hieroglyph meaning uterus and related concepts, found in Egyptian Grammar, Sir Alan Gardiner, page 466, between intestine and leg bone.
ovum
Note the similarity of this Chinese character to the uterus hieroglyph and to the Fallopian tubes graphic above; note also that the dots inside imply eggs. Again, dots inside the ovaries imply eggs.
This girl is pretty because she has empty ovaries, which shows that she is a virgin.
Conceptual Synonyms
pretty; charming girl
Woman + stylized Fallopian tubes which are empty = youth, fertility, and virginity. Woman + miao = youth, fertility, and virginity. Note that the body partshave been replaced by a field with sprouts. Another synonym for pretty girl, however the woman radical on the left has been replaced by the side man radical, which looks more like an arrow heading to a target. A prostitute is a kind of magnet for men, as a target is a magnet for arrows
