Latin

Etymology

Uncertain.

• Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʷel- or *gʷelh₁- (“throat”), with assumed cognates in Sanskrit गल (gala, “throat, neck”), Old Armenian կուլ- (kul-), Russian глотка (glotka, “throat”), Persian گلو (galu, “throat”), and Northern Kurdish gewrî, gerû (“throat”). Kroonen reconstructs *gʷlh₁-eh₂.
• However, De Vaan doubts that *gʷel- can phonetically give rise to Latin gul-. See gluttō (“glutton”) for more.

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈɡʊ.ɫa]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈɡuː.la]

Noun

gula f (genitive gulae); first declension

1. (anatomy) gullet, throat, palate

   Synonyms: faucēs, rūmen, frūmen, guttur
