λαìρυγξ
λάρυγξ [ ᾰ], υγγος, ὁ, larynx or upper part of the windpipe, Arist. HA 493a6; used in sounding the vowels, ib. 535a32: but in Poets confused with φάρυγξ (gullet) (cf. Arist. HA 535a29), E. Cyc. 158; χωρεῖν κατὰ τοῦ λ. Pherecr. 108.7, cf. Crobyl. 8; of gluttons, ἀνόσιοι λάρυγγες Eub. 139; ἐκ τοῦ λ. ἐκκρεμάσας τινά Ar. Eq. 1363; τὸν λάρυγγ' ἂν ἐκτέμοιμί σου Id. Ra. 575: metaph., λ. γλυκύς speech, LXX Si. 6.4. II = τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία, Meno Iatr. 8.30.
λάρυγξ, λάρυγγος, ὁ, the throat (Etym. Magn. (557, 16): λάρυγξ μέν δἰ οὗ λαλοῦμεν ... φάρυγξ δέ δἰ οὗ ἐσθίομεν καί πίνομεν): of the instrument or organ of speech (as Psalm 5:10; Proverbs 8:7; Sir. 6:5(4)), Romans 3:13, where the meaning is, their speech threatens and imprecates destruction to others. (Aristophanes, Euripides, Aristotle, Galen, others; the Sept. several times for גָּרון; more often for חֵך, the palate.)
