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 [[φάρυγξ]] and [[λαιμός]], 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.).
