x<sub>1</sub> is Virgo [constellation/astrological sign].
==== notes ====
From [[ferti|ferti]]. The Greeks and Romans associated Virgo with their goddess of wheat, Demeter-Ceres who is the mother of Proserpina-Persephone. For this reason the constellation became associated with fertility (in both Babylonia, Greece and Rome). Alternatively, she was sometimes identified as the virgin goddess Iustitia or Astraea, holding the scales of justice in her hand as the constellation Libra. Since ferti in lojban covers both potential and actual/realized fertility, the original meaning of the constellation have been chosen, but you could probably still interpret the name in both senses (as a deity of fecundity or as a fertile virgin).

==== definition ====
x<sub>1</sub> �r Jungfrun (stj�rnbild/stj�rntecken).
==== notes ====
Fr�n [[ferti|ferti]]. Grekerna och romarna associerade Jungfrun med deras vetegudinna, Demeter-Ceres som �r moder till Proserpina-Persephone. D�rf�r blev stj�rnbilden associerad med fruktbarhet (i b�de Babylonien, Grekland och Rom). Alternativt s� var hon ibland k�nd som jungfrugudinnan Iustitia eller Astraea, som h�ller r�ttvisans v�g i sin hand. Eftersom ferti p� lojban t�cker s�v�l potentiell som faktisk/f�rverkligad fertilitet, s� har den ursprungliga betydelsen blivit vald, men kan f�rmodligen �nd� tolka namnet p� b�da s�tten (som en fruktbarhetsgudom eller som en fertil jungfru).
