ᴺS. !lhunc n. “pharynx, gullet” (Category: Throat)

ᴺS. !lhunc, n. “pharynx, gullet” [created by Paul Strack, Ygrain] (Category: Throat)
G. glod “gullet, throat”
N. lhanc “throat”

A neologism for “pharynx, gullet” (the interior of the throat) derived from the root ᴹ√SLUK “swallow”, which arose out of a Discord conversation between Paul Strack and Ygrain on 2021-03-07. I would use S. lang more generally for “neck, throat” to describe the whole neck structure as a passage between the mouth and the stomach and lungs, but ᴺS. lhunc may be used more specifically for the interior of the throat, and as a replacement for N. lhanc “throat” which is probably not part of the same conceptual paradigm as S. lang “neck”.
