quran:56:83

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat  

Why then, when it, the spirit, during the throes ˹of death˺, reaches the ˹dying person’s˺ throat (hulqūm is the passage for food)
القرآن:٥٦:٨٣

فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ  

{فلولا} فهلا {إذا بلغت} الروح وقت النزع {الحلقوم} هو مجرى الطعام.
