French has a word for them ('orteil') but also uses 'doigts de pied', as expected for the true language of poets

The Hungarian word is “lábujj” … literally “footfinger.” I’d consider that red because saying “footfinger” and “finger of the foot” are two different things entirely is silly.

Latin: Digitus pedis, finger of the foot

Now do one for “glove” and “shoe of the hand” 🤚

Kojų pirštai :3 leg fingers

Now does there exist a foot-worshipping culture that calls "fingers" the "toes of the hand"?

irish uses ladhar to mean toe 😌

but also méar choise, meaning finger of the feet 😔

Feetgers.

So the non-Germanic languages are the ones doing kennings here? Interesting.

To be fair, the etymology of English "toe" is from middle English and means "digit of the foot".

The full etymology likely originates with something like "finger of the foot".
