I agree with the opinion of respected Odysseus. It shows the larynx of a 'Whale' Link: https://www.google.co.in/search?q=larynx+of+a+whale&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=VPU3UNDGCIeQrgeNtoA4&ved=0CCcQsAQ&biw=1639&bih=860 |

I used the term larynx in the more global meaning. Of course I did not mean it was the larynx per se as they would long since have disappeared. We modern medical practitioners have a rather narrow view of what larynx means. In Ancient Greek the word laryngx (λάρυνγξ ) is the upper windpipe. The verb from laryngx (λαρυγγίζω ) means to bellow or shout lustily and laryngikos (λαρυγγικός) means a glutton (someone who stuffs his cake hole). Pharynx in Ancient Greek means the throat. I used larynx advisedly. Here I stand. |
