PHARYGʼGA, pharygʼga
Sounds Like: fah-ROO-gah
Translations: throat, a throat, gullet, a gullet
From the root: ΦΑΡΥΓΞ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to the throat or gullet, the passage from the mouth to the stomach or lungs. It is used to describe the physical part of the body involved in swallowing or speaking. The apostrophe at the end of the word is a keraia, indicating that the word is being used as a numeral, specifically the number 513. However, in the provided context, it is clearly used as a noun, meaning 'throat'. The keraia is likely a scribal error or a non-standard notation in this instance, as the word 'pharynx' itself does not typically take a keraia in this position when used as a noun.
