(lmh could mean sexually mature female, married or unmarried.

n(rh could mean marriageable young female.

Marriage was young. There's not too much difference between the terms.

It should be noted that the Hebrew original of Is 7:14 talks of a young woman who is with child, so it wouldn't make sense to talk of a virgin in the case.
