uvula- which is "little grape" in latin.
The medical term is "palatine uvula"
It can produce a gag reflex if touched, protecting you from swallowing things you didn't mean to, and it also is important to the tone and inflection of your voice.
It also plays an important role in the pronunciation of certain germanic/ hebrew/ and african languages- its used in the first syllable of the word "Haggadah" in Hebrew- its like saying "h" while clearing your throat.
It also plays a part in snoring.

The medical name is the uvula. The common name is generally that thing that hangs down at the back of your throat. I have a friend who calls it a dongerswaller. I like that the best.
