Today's words

canopic jar /kə-ˈnō-pik-, -ˈnä-/ - a jar in which the ancient Egyptians preserved the viscera of a deceased person usually for burial with the mummy

splanchnic /ˈsplaŋk-nik/ - of or relating to the viscera :  visceral

How odd, I thought, that these two viscera-related words - both of which were new to me - would be in the most common lookups today when the WOTD was "visceral." Then I saw why.
