- λάρυγξ lárynx · G2995 · throat
- Greek λάρυγξ (lárynx, G2995) is the direct anatomical equivalent for Hebrew גָּרוֹן (gârôwn, H1627), both denoting the physical throat/larynx; the Hebrew lemma's broader gloss range (including idiomatic extensions to 'aloud,' 'mouth,' 'neck') reflects its wider semantic field in Hebrew usage, while the Greek term maintains the core anatomical sense that underlies these extensions.
