faucal (plural faucals)
Both faucal and faucial are used and accepted. Faucial is generally used in medicine; faucal more often in phonetics. Faucal seems to have more etymological validity with respect to both the Latin and English roots. The Latin root is faux. Latin nouns in -ux retain no affix in combination with -alis; the proper Latin construction is faucalis, compare: Latin vocalis/English vocal, Latin ducalis/English ducal.
