Hi Sheena
Nuchal comes from the word no-ka, or nuka (with all
those funny little symbols above the letters) and means nape of the neck. The
term nuchal arm is also used to describe an arm tucked up behind the baby's head
and across the nape.

Thank you to all who replied about the cord around
the neck query of mine. Now I have another question, why is it sometimes called
the nuchal cord? I have heard of the nuchal fold, but only very occasionally
is the term nuchal cord used.
