nape

This variety has the back and nape nearly a uniform pinkish ruddy with but little streaking.

The one difference that I can detect is in the coloration of the nape.

So violent was the blow that he could not extricate his dagger from the man's spine, but had to leave it sticking in his nape.

I am in doubt as to the meaning of bghn; perhaps the two words stand for joint at the nape of the neck.
