Womb (κοιλία koilia)

And it happened that, when He was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts that nursed You. (Lk 11,27)

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ λέγειν αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἐπάρασά τις φωνὴν γυνὴ ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Μακαρία ἡ κοιλία ἡ βαστάσασά σε καὶ μαστοὶ οὓς ἐθήλασας.

Factum est autem, cum hæc diceret: extollens vocem quædam mulier de turba dixit illi: Beatus venter, qui te portavit, et ubera, quæ suxisti.
