Although a rare word, purlicue is a
term for the space between the
forefinger and
thumb, originally used in the North of England.
It’s
thought to derive from the Scots term
pirlie, meaning ‘curly’ or
‘twisted’, and is
also used as a synonym for curlicue: a term in
calligraphy to describe curls in a person’s
writing.

的空间，起源于
英格兰北部，来源于苏格兰术语pirlie，意为卷曲的或弯曲的现在用作花

fraenum
系带
A fraenum is a small ligament
that restricts movement between body
parts.
The most obvious example is the fraenum which

to the bottom of the
mouth, or the lip to the gum. It comes from the
Latin fraenum which meant ‘bridle’ – that same
idea ofrestrained
movement. . It is also
spelled frenum, and the more common term is
frenulum.
系带是一小小的韧带，限制身体部位的运动。最为显著的

uvula
小舌
The uvula is the
fleshy extension that hangs at the back of the
mouth above the opening of the throat. This is
a body part that we share
with some other
primates; for instance, baboons have small,
underdeveloped uvulae. The uvula helps to
close the nasopharynx during
swallowing, so
that no food can enter the nasal passage. It also
causes
the initiation of the gag reflex if
stimulated, and is also used to
articulate a
range of sounds in speech, such as the guttural R
used in
French.
小舌是嘴巴后部、紧贴喉咙口上方悬垂的部
分。这一身体部位其他灵长目动
物也有，比如狒狒有小型但发育并不完全的小舌。小舌有助吞咽时闭合鼻

列音，
如法语里喉音r。
philtrum
人中
This term refers to the vertical groove
between the bottom of the

philtrum which initially meant ‘love-potion’
or ‘love-charm’ and only
started being used in
English for the body part in the 17th century.

gnathion
颔下点
This is the

The glabella is
the smooth part of the forehead, between and

有毛发、平整、光秃
