|etymtx=-υγγος<br />Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">upper part of the wind-pipe</b> (Hp., com., Arist., Gal.).<br />Derivatives: Dimin. <b class="b3">λαρύγγιον</b> (Gal.), <b class="b3">-ικός</b> [[rapacious]] (Pherecr.) and a few denominatives: 1. <b class="b3">λαρυγγ-ίζω</b> <b class="b2">cry with full neck, shout lustily</b> (Ar., D.); 2. <b class="b3">-ιάω</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (A P); 3. <b class="b3">λαρύζει βοᾳ̃ ἀπὸ τοῦ λάρυγγος</b> H.; also 4. <b class="b3">λαρύνει</b>, of the dove (Stud. itfilcl. 1, 95; 3,496); to <b class="b3">-ύνω</b> beside velar stems Fraenkel Denom. 294. Backformation <b class="b3">λαρυγγός ματαιολόγος</b> H.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Suggestion of a cross of earlier <b class="b3">φάρυγξ</b> and <b class="b3">λαιμός</b>, s. Strömberg Wortstudien 5 9 ff., who discusses the meaning; such crosses are rare and therefor rather improbable. - Earlier connected with Lat. <b class="b2">lurco(r</b>) [[devour]], [[carouse]], Germ., e. g. MHG [[slurc]] [[throat]] (WP. 2, 716, Pok. 965 f., W.-Hofmann s. v.). "Sollte diese Deutung wirklich zutreffen, ist <b class="b3">λάρυγξ</b> jedenfalls nach <b class="b3">φάρυγξ</b> umgebildet worden (Güntert Reimwortbildungen 119)" Frisk. The gen. <b class="b3">λὰρυγος</b> (EM 788, 37) confirms Pre-Greek origin, which is already clearly shown by the suffix ( secondary origin is far from convincing; cf. DELG).
