genitals, private parts, pudenda
A plural noun meaning genitals or private parts that excite shame. The term appears in Deuteronomy 25:11 in a law addressing a woman who intervenes in a fight between her husband and another man by seizing the other man's genitals. This is treated as a serious offense requiring corporal punishment. The euphemistic Hebrew emphasizes the shameful or private nature of these body parts. Cross-linguistic glosses handle this with varying degrees of directness.

1. sense 1 — Genitals, private parts, pudenda. Deuteronomy 25:11 legislates a case where a woman grabs a man's genitals during a fight. BDB notes these are 'parts that excite shame,' reflecting ancient modesty around sexual organs. The multilingual evidence ranges from direct (genitals) to euphemistic (partes-vergonzosas, shameful parts). The law's severity suggests this was considered a grave violation of propriety and dignity. 1×
