		So, if Ordway really knew the meaning of the word thrapple, it is conceivable that he was describing, in a word, precisely what he saw.
		Also, he was misled regarding the anatomy of both the larynx, which does not resemble a jews harp, and the jews harp, which does not look like the “thrapple” Ordway described.
