Yes, and the upper gum should be called the mouth eave.

English proving it's equivalence to the German language yet again

Fun fact in our dialect we call it sky.

The word for Ceiling in German is "Decke". Which is also the word for blanket. Lol

In Czech it's "patro", which can be translated as a floor/story (in a building sense)

It is simply one of many injustices of our early medical practices.
