Your transcription implies an aleph in the 1st position when in fact it
is an Ayin. This is an old page in that the address for the list is
incorrect, but you can find the transcription system here

When reading the passages below, none (at least as I understand it) specifi=
cally refer to a virgin, in particular Isa. 62:5. This last verse indicates=
a woman who is married, though referring to her wedding day. It is because=
of uses like this that I understand BTWLH to refer to a young woman of mar=
riageable age, not necessarily a virgin.
