-From 乃 ‘womb’ and 子 ‘child’.
+The Shuōwén Seal form of 孕(􂥐) yùn ‘conceive/pregnant’ (be with child) combines 子 zǐ ‘child’, and 乃(􀴫𠄎) nǎi ‘be’ (phonosemantic).
-	乃 here represents the womb, or, like 勹 in 包 bāo, is just 人 rén person, a pregnant woman, with a 子 baby inside.
+	Older graphs associated with 孕 suggest old pictographs like 身/娠 (身孕) with 女/母, with 𡰣(􁜗) instead of 乃 (HDZ); cf. 㚢(􂉶􂉵奴).
+	Note: Some say 乃 represents the womb, enclosing the 子 ‘child’, as 勹 in 包 bāo (胞).
+	Compare: 婚(􂉎) hūn ‘marry’.
