Definition
吭 (háng) is a literary bound form meaning 'throat', primarily found in the four-character idiom 引吭高歌 (yǐn háng gāo gē, 'to sing loudly with head raised'). It is not used as a standalone noun; the everyday word for throat is 喉咙 (hóulóng) or 嗓子 (sǎngzi). Note that 吭 also has a different pronunciation (kēng) used in compounds like 吭声 (to utter a sound), but this entry covers only the háng reading.
