    A brief look at etymologic dictionaries is indicative of the fact that the word gırtlak was analyzed from different perspectives. This word, which is not found in pre-modern Turkish linguistic sources, began to appear in modern Turkish after an unspecified period of time and is today used in many dialects as gırtlak, qırtlaq, hırtlak, xirtlek, xirtdek and so on. Therefore, the present paper aimed to explain the structure of gırtlak based on historical and contemporary linguistic data. In addition to an overview of the linguists’ point of view on the word, the paper also presents a novel analytical approach to its structure. It should be also noted that some other words were useful in this regard, including qort (sip) defined in a Chagatai dictionary called Sangalakh, qurtum (sip), xirtdek/qırtlaq (throat), udlaq (throat) in Azerbaijani Turkish, xortum (sip) in Iranian Turkish dialects, and ġurt (sip, gulp) used in Persian with a Turkish origin.
