         DefinitionShort: the uterus

         Glosses: womb

         Comments: For the total expression as an idiom, see {D:10.45}. Rarely can one translate literally {S:04200202300020} as ‘every male that opens the womb,’ since this is likely to refer to an adult male who first has sexual intercourse with a woman. The reference in {S:04200202300020} is, of course, to the first male child which is born to a woman, and therefore an appropriate equivalent in many languages is ‘a woman’s first baby if it is a boy.’
