 *[Footnote: F. C. Conybeare: "Die jungfräuliche Kirche und die jungfräuliche Mutter." Archiv für Religionswissenschaft, IX, 77. The connection of the church with the mother is not to be doubted, also the conception of the mother as spouse. The virgin is necessarily introduced to hide the incest idea. The "community with the male" points to the motive of the continuous cohabitation. The "twin nestlings" refer to the old legend, that Jesus and Thomas were twins. It plainly expresses the motive of the Dioscuri. Therefore, doubting Thomas had to place his finger in the wound at the side. Zinzendorf has correctly perceived the sexual significance of this symbol that hints at the androgynous nature of the primitive being (the libido). Compare the Persian legend of the twin trees Meschia and Mechiane, as well as the motive of the Dioscuri and the motive of cohabitation.], which means wood and forest; it really means moist, from the Indo-Germanic root sū in [Greek: u(/ô], "to make wet, to have it rain"; [Greek: u(eto/s] = rain; Iranian suth = sap, fruit, birth; Sanscrit súrā = brandy; sutus = pregnancy; sūte, sūyate = to generate; sutas = son; sūras = soma; [Greek: ui(o/s] = son; (Sanscrit, sūnús; gothic, sunus).]means cohabitation, [Greek: koimêtê/rion] bedchamber, hence coemeterium = cemetery, enclosed fenced place.]*
