Word derivation for "throat" :
Basque = eztarri, Finnish = kurkku
Miresua = ezturku
Another new body part word. The throat is the passage from the mouth to the stomach or to the lungs, and the front part of the neck.
The Finnish word, kurkku, has a second meaning, with different etymology, of cucumber.
I found two occurrences of the word throat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Some of the birds hurried off at once: one old Magpie began wrapping itself up very carefully, remarking, "I really must be getting home; the night-air doesn't suit my throat!"
