         DefinitionShort: (figurative extension of meaning of {L:κοιλία}[a] ‘belly,’ {D:8.67}) the psychological faculty of desire, intent, and feeling{N:001}

         Glosses: ['heart', 'feelings', 'desires']

         Comments: Though some persons have attempted to distinguish between {L:σπλάγχνον}[b], κοιλία[c], and {L:νεφρός}, it is extremely doubtful whether this is really possible or practical. The semantic focus in the use of these terms is clearly the deeper and more intimate feelings and emotions. In some languages one can use a term which literally means ‘belly’ or ‘bowels,’ but more often than not, these emotions are associated with some particular organ of the body such as heart, spleen, liver, etc. Rather, however, than attempting to employ a figurative expression which may or may not be fully equivalent, it is often preferable to refer to the emotional content by using terms such as ‘feelings,’ ‘intents,’ ‘desires,’ or ‘compassion,’ depending upon the context.

         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: the womb carries) to experience the process of pregnancy

         Glosses: ['to be pregnant with', 'to carry in the womb']

         Comments: It may, however, be necessary in some languages to render {S:04201102700038} as ‘fortunate is the woman who gave you birth,’ since a literal reference to carrying in the womb may seem unduly crude.
