|-
| ጎበዝ ህመም || "gobeze hemem" || large intestine
|}
|}


== Use of the Word “የእግር ዕርከብ” ==
== Cultural Insight ==


As we see in the table above, the word “የእግር ዕርከብ” (ye'igr imperkib) is used to refer to a sore throat. It's interesting to note that in Amharic the word for “neck” and “throat” is actually the same, so it can lead to some confusion.
In Ethiopian culture, health and well-being are highly valued. Traditional Ethiopian medicine, known as "Dabtara," combines spiritual beliefs, herbal remedies, and physical therapies to treat various ailments. Many Ethiopians believe in the power of holy water and holy oil, which are often used as part of healing rituals. It's also common for Ethiopians to seek blessings from religious leaders when facing health challenges.


Furthermore, Ethiopians generally use the term "ጣት" (t'ut) which means fever for both fever and temperature indicators.
Historically, Ethiopia has been home to ancient medical practices. The country's rich cultural heritage includes manuscripts dating back centuries that document unique medical treatments and knowledge. Today, modern medicine coexists with traditional healing practices, providing a comprehensive approach to healthcare in Ethiopia.
