Why is Y at the end of our alphabet? Because its not a pretty picture. In Chi-
nese, besides meaning slave girl, our Y shape also means bifurcated, forked.
Y is the shape of a fork or anything with two prongs spread apart. The spreadis 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 relation-
ship to females, including body parts and denitions that characterize females.
This is a work-in-progress.

What do neon and breasts have in common?
They both grab peoples attention.
The B-shaped Chinese character (nai3) is acknowledged asa womans 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 (nai3).After that are characters that use the woman or mother
radical, or somehow denote female by denition.
