laryngeal
Of the voicebox
Laryngeal means relating to the larynx, the structure in the throat containing the vocal cords: laryngeal muscles, laryngeal cancer.
In phonetics, laryngeal sounds are produced by constricting the larynx itself rather than using the tongue or lips.
The word appears almost exclusively in medical and linguistic contexts.
