<注釋>Until recently, the use ofbirth as a verb meaning .to bear (a child). has been confined to Southern speech: .Heap o` good it do a woman to birth a mess o` young uns and raise `em and then have `em all go off to oncet. (Marjorie K. Rawlings).Recently, however, the nonstandard Southern usage has coincided with widespread usage of verbs derived from nouns, such asparent, network, and microwave. Birth in this new usage is most commonly found in its present participial form and is used as an adjective in the compound birthing room.
