Readings

Compounds

Compounds

• 内腔(ないくう) (naikū): lumen (cavity within tubular organ)

Usage notes

The くう reading is favoured especially by medical professionals. こう is the most common on'yomi for a kanji to have, whereas くう is one of the least common, so the homophony difference is vast. Furthermore, the 空 component of this kanji is usually read as くう.
