Typology and the phonetics of laryngeals

[Herb Stahlke]

Lehmann, in his Theoretical Bases of Indo-European Linguistics, p. 107,
attributes the term to a Semiticist, Hermann Moeller, in 1879.  He mentions
only a note and does not give a citation.

When was the word "laryngeal" first given to
these sounds? The name seems to show an idea by someone that these sounds
were pronounced in that sort of area of the mouth and throat.
