Body Syllables

[flwyd]

Head, neck, chest, arm, leg, groin, butt, hand, foot, thigh, knee, shin, toe, brow, eye, nose, mouth, tongue, tooth, jaw, ear, hair, thumb, breast.

Body, finger, elbow, shoulder, eyebrow, forearm, forehead, belly, penis.

Vagina.

No wonder "vagina" sounds so awkward: it's the only trisyllablic word for a major externally-accessible body part I can think of. It's also clearly Latin-derived while the others (excerpt penis?) are Germanic. No wonder it needs so much slang.

and now you have me mumbling bodyparts to myself.

fingernail, but that's a compound.
Most of the even-sometimes-used trisyllabic ones get truncated: abs, glutes, quads, where biceps isn't truncated.
