and the toes
A finger (of a human hand, or figuratively of a deity); by extension in some contexts, a toe (of a human or animal foot). The primary sense is that of the digit extending from the hand, used for pointing, grasping, writing, or performing specific actions. The term can be used both literally (physical finger or toe) and metaphorically (as in attributing intentional acts or craftsmanship to a deity or actor).
