The hill known as Miren Castle () rises above the settlement to the south. Name The settlement was attested in written sources in 1494 as ''Merinach an der Wippach'', and in 1523 as ''Japinitz oder Merina''. The name is believed to have arisen through ellipsis of a noun phrase (e.g., *''miren grad'' 'walled castle'), leaving the adjective *''miren'' 'walled' (< *''myrьnъ'').

Female Catholic Artists
An organism's sex is female (symbol: ♀) if it produces the ovum (egg cell), the type of gamete (sex cell) that fuses with the male gamete (sperm cell) during sexual reproduction. A female has larger gametes than a male. Females and males are results of the anisogamous reproduction system, wherein gametes are of different sizes (unlike isogamy where they are the same size). The exact mechanism of female gamete evolution remains unknown. In species that have males and females, sex-determination may be based on either sex chromosomes, or environmental conditions. Most female mammals, including female humans, have two X chromosomes. Characteristics of organisms with a female sex vary between different species, having different female reproductive systems, with some species showing characteristics secondary to the reproductive system, as with mammary glands in mammals. In humans, the word ''female'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
