And who is a aylonit? It is she who is twenty years old and has not yet grown two pubic hairs. And even if she grows pubic hairs afterward, she is still considered a aylonit with regard to all her matters. And her signs are as follows: she does not have breasts and experiences pain during intercourse. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: It is anyone whose lower abdomen is not formed like that of other women, as she lacks the cushion of flesh that is usually situated above a woman’s genitals. Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: It is anyone whose voice is deep, so that it is not evident from it whether she is a woman or a man.

And these are the signs of a saris: He doesn't have a beard. His hair is weak. His flesh is smooth/hairless. His urine doesn't make foam. And when he urinates, it doesn't form an arch. And his semen is thin. And his urine doesn't ferment. And he washes in the rainy season without his flesh producing steam. And his voice is week and he can't be identified as male or female. A saris of this type is referred to as a saris chammah. When, however, the genitals of a male have been cut, severed or crushed, as the gentiles do, the person is called a saris ʾadam. When such a person reaches the age of thirteen and one day, he is considered to be of age, for he will never manifest signs of maturity.

(Jewish law, potentially offensive) a male who is sexually underdeveloped or develops female secondary sex characteristics during puberty, either naturally or by illness
