Females in Chinese Script

Why is “Y” at the end of our alphabet? Because the shape of “Y” is not a pretty picture. In Chinese, besides meaning “slave girl,” this “Y” shape also means “bifurcated, forked.” “Y” is the shape of a fork or anything with two prongs spread apart. The “spread” is key to “Y.” A “yawn” is made by spreading open the lips of the mouth. To “yaw” is to deviate from course. “Ya” can also can mean “yes”: Yah!, which is what slaves of any sex must say. The following Chinese characters are those that have any kind of relationship to females, including body parts and definitions that characterize females. This is a work-in-progress.

What do neon and breasts have in common? They both grab people’s attention. The B-shaped Chinese character乃 (nai3) is acknowledged as a woman’s breasts when the “woman” radical is in front, but without the radical it means “thereupon.” Why do you suppose “thereupon” uses the symbol for breasts? Because birth is the next thing that happens to a pregnant woman. It is cause and effect in action: a precept of life, and therefore can be counted upon. Following this are the characters that use this B-shaped Chinese character乃 (nai3). After that are characters that use the “woman” or “mother” radical, or somehow denote “female” by definition. 2 Rev. 11 October 2013 2:21 PM © Jennifer Ball, Feb. 16, 2011
