I had a thought. Since namekians reproduce by spitting out eggs from their throats, and I think they clearly very likely have an esophagus and trachea, that means they likely have a third tube in their throats. However, that would mean they would need to protect the third tube from water and the occasional food, so their egg tube doesn't get injured or infected in any way. So, would that mean that namekians have two epiglottitises? (Or whatever the plural way to pronounce it is)

Also, yes, I know namekians don't \*need\* food like humans do. However, they are still \*capable\* of eating, and therefore they must have a stomach that can digest stuff, so it wouldn't be ideal for an egg to form in the stomach and come out the esophagus. Plus, King Piccolo spit an egg (Piccolo Jr.) when he had a massive hole in his torso, so his stomach was likely obliterated (I'm mentioning that, because I've heard people mention it before that the egg forms in the stomach. I just don't see how that's possible). So there's gotta be a separate organ in their throats/maybe upper chest/clavicle area that produce the eggs. And thus, a second epiglottitis to protect said reproductive tube in their throats from cross contamination with water and potential food.
