BETULIM and BETULAH, although related words, have slightly different connotations, but
there is still a huge amount of overlap (as is to be expected of related words).
BETULIM implies "virginity" the same as we would see it -- that is, someone who has had no
previous sexual experience - someone who is physically a virgin.

Actually betulim is a SIGN that one is a betulah. (There not being too many others. Those who do not understand should have a talk with their mother, or wife, if they have one.)
