My nape hurts.

Source: tatoeba (2852897)

Would you like me to shave the nape of your neck?

Source: tatoeba (3332588)

She touched me lightly on the nape of the neck with the tips of her fingers and it made me shudder.

Source: tatoeba (3564244)

During the summer Chloe had many suitors, who came to Dryas and begged his daughter in marriage. Some brought presents to add weight to their suit, and some made great promises. Nape was elated and advised her husband to marry off Chloe immediately, and not to keep a girl of her age any longer at home, observing that some artful shepherd might entice her whilst she was tending her flocks, and that the best course was to secure a good match for her.
