δάκτυλόν
dáktylos
finger
a finger; refers to one of the digits of the hand, used both in the literal, anatomical sense ('finger') and occasionally in metaphorical expressions or as a measurement term (e.g., a unit of width). Primary meaning is the anatomical finger, especially as distinguished from the broader term for 'hand'. In rare cases, can refer to a stylus or writing implement, by extension from the use of a finger for writing in dust or wax.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1147-02
of fingers
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP) — indicating possession, source, or association, plural in number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or relation, so "of fingers" preserves the plural number and genitive case while maintaining the core anatomical sense of individual digits of the hand. |

finger
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed 'of fingers' to 'finger' because the Greek is singular accusative, and 'bring your finger' fits the narrative command. |
