Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Sharon, this is from an e-text I found, which I think is a transcription of ä¸é†«å詞術詞大è¾å…¸ a dictionary published in Taiwan in the 90's 五ä¸å¥³ “五ä¸å¥³â€æŒ‡å¥³å先天性生ç†ç¼ºé™·ã€‚å³èžºã€ç´‹ã€é¼“ã€è§’ã€è„ˆäº\ ”種。å‰äººèªç‚ºé€™é¡žæƒ…æ³æ²’有生育的能力，故å。“螺â€ï¼ŒæŒ‡é\ ™°æˆ¶ä¸æœ‰èžºæ—‹ç´‹ï¼Œç¤™æ–¼æ€§äº¤è€…（一說螺是“騾â€å—之誤，指無\ 生殖能力者）；“紋â€ï¼Œå³â€œ ç´‹é™°â€ï¼Œé¡žæ–¼å…ˆå¤©æ€§é™°é“狹å°æˆ–缺陷；“鼓â€ï¼Œå³â€œé¼“花â€ï¼\ Œé™°æˆ¶ç¹ƒæ€¥ä¼¼ç„¡ç«…，類於處女膜閉鎖；“角â€ï¼Œå³â€œè§’花â€ï¼Œæ\ Œ‡è”è’‚éŽé•·ï¼Œé¡žæ–¼é™° 陽人；“脈â€ï¼Œæ˜¯å¥³å一生月經全無（或月經ä¸èª¿ï¼‰ï¼Œä¸èƒ½å\ •è‚²ä¹‹ç—‡ï¼ˆä»¥ä¸Šè¦‹è¬å…¨ã€Šå»£å—£ç´€è¦ï¼Žæ“‡é…篇》）。 If the Chinese doesn't come through I can email you the source as a word file (but it is kind of large).

According to the Practical Dictionary of , these are: luo2: " snail " (deformity of vagina); wen2: constricted vagina; gu3: " drum " (imperforate hymen); jiao3: " horn " (excessively developed clitoris); mai4: " vessel " (infertility due to lifelong absence of menses or to menstrual irregularity, or flooding and vaginal discharge).
