Composition

zi-zo (biological coupling event, W106) + du (result/effect) — the participant occupying the substrate/receiving-contribution role within the coupling. Head-final: du specifies which of the two symmetric roles this participant occupies.

Definition

the du-role participant in a biological coupling event; the party whose gametic contribution is the large, nutrient-rich, substrate-receiving type; female in the biological gamete-asymmetry sense.

Notes

This is a biological role description, not a social category. Anchors to anisogamy: the egg contributor supplies the cell that hosts gamete fusion and initiates development; this is the du (result/destination) role because the event's developmental continuation originates in that gamete. Sex-neutral social identity: see W107 notes. zi-zo-du is biological register only. Complementary pair: zi-zo-go (W107) is the go-role participant. Species with simultaneous hermaphroditism occupy both roles sequentially or simultaneously — this is a role description, not an exclusive biological partition in all organisms.
