15. In human terms, around the throat (人間で言う、喉ら辺, ningen de iu, nodo ra hen)
Comp says that when polar bears speak in Japanese, it seems it must be around the throat for humans. It looks like that if they speak with the normal mouth, it becomes a different language.
[it’s probably an explanation about why Comp puts the microphone on his throat, under the mouth, to talk]
