It would seem, that the term given by M Pinart for “fingers” is not

accurate, since he has previously recorded it for “forefinger”, in

which he is confirmed by Professor McGee. It seems probable that the

literal signification of the term for “little finger” is “son (or

offspring) of the hand.” Professor McGee writes _i-sahk_ for “son” as

said by the father, and M Pinart writes _isaak_ for the same idea.
