[Buddha-l] Ordination and Vinaya

[jkirk]

 why would an American anthropologist think that laps and wombs
are unmentionable?

Because a 2d  gloss made it *female genitalia*

=====================

One suspects the common Latin root is "gremium," which means a
lap or a womb. Now the only mysteries remaining to be solved are
1) why does a word meaning a lap or a womb come to mean a
committee or a guild, and 2) why would an  American
anthropologist think that laps and wombs are unmentionable?
