[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/T/throat/#m2) ### sense in the lessons Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah says the twenty-two letters are formed in five places of the mouth, the throat being the first. The psalms say idols have no voice in their throat, while a throat dried from crying shows a person's distress. In the primary lessons: In science the throat leads to two tubes: the food pipe (oesophagus) to the stomach and the windpipe (trachea) to the lungs; a small flap stops food going down the wrong way. Your voice box is in your throat. In health lessons a sore throat is a common sign of a cold, and small objects can block the throat and cause choking, so chew food well and keep tiny things away from babies. Phrases: sore throat, clear your throat, lump in your throat, cut-throat. ### examples - Twenty-two letters are formed by the voice, impressed on the air, and audibly uttered in five situations, in the throat, guttural sounds; in the palate, palatals; by the tongue, linguals; through the teeth, dentals; and by the lips, labial sounds.
