False, italian has a word for toe that is separate from the fingers of the feet (alluce)

    That is specifically the name for the big toe though, and while there are names for the various other toes (they're quite uncommon, I don't remember them), they're not generic like "toe"

    No, only alluce is a real word. The other names seems to be made up just to make a funny story.
