"Coccyx"

       I've been curious about the word "coccyx" for its peculiarity and its sound.  It's another word for what is often called the tailbone.  The Greeks have it in this case because the origin is the Greek word for "cuckoo."  And why should that be the origin of the tailbone?  Because the bone itself, the "tail" end of the spine, a more or less triangular fusion of the four final vertebrae, resembles the shape of a cuckoo's beak!  So there you have [COCK-six] "coccyx."

       Thus the "tail" ends with my curiosity being satisfied.  And if the "cuckoo" can be imitatively named for the sound of its own monotonous call, why can't the coccyx of both humans and tailless apes be imitatively named for the shape, not of their missing tails but the beak of the cuckoo?!
