The Gm' in Kiddushin has always been hard to understand. How to justify the "extra" 'yud' of וזרע אין לה because of מאן יבמי and מאן בלעם ... what does the shoresh of מאן having anything to do with the shoresh of אין??
Then i found this in wikipedia:
The word "meiosis" comes from the Greek verb meioun, meaning "to make small", since it results in a reduction in chromosome number in the gamete cell.
Doesn't necessarily answer all questions but what it does show is a direct connection between mi'un, ayin, reduction, and nothingness.... v'dok.
[ועיין במלבי"ם על וזרע אין לה]
ALSO, the greek word for woman (gyne) being related to garden/Gan. See Shir HaShirim Rabbah on "גן נעול אחותי כלה" and also on the pasuk "באתי לגני אחותי כלה"
