Syrinx
Syrinx has a plethora of meanings. You can take your pick - a panpipe, a narrow gallery in an Egyptian tomb, the tube from the throat to the ear drum or the song organ of a bird to name a few. I guess they're all related in some way. However, the invented meanings were actually a lot more interesting - especially that suggested by The Good Woman which won the vote on the poll today. Congratulations!
