23.52 · Physiological Processes and States · Birth, Procreation
to bear, to give birth to give birth to a child All languages have expressions for human birth, though these are frequently in idiomatic forms, for example, ‘to drop a child’ or ‘to cause a baby to pass between the legs.’ A number of languages have a variety of terms referring to giving birth, and some of these may involve unfortunate connotations. One must therefore be careful about the selection of appropriate expressions.
1 It is possible that τεκνογονέω and τεκνογονία differ somewhat in connotation from τίκτω[a] and γεννάω[b] in being stylistically more formal, but there seems to be no significant denotative distinction in meaning.
