γυνή gunē goo-nay, can be used for either woman or wife, but usually as a married woman.  Most females were married at a young age in the ancient world.  So, my question is:
If a female was not married, let's say past the age of 20, would she be considered a GUNE or a parthenos?

How about an unmarried man?  Could he be referred to as an ANHR.
