After a review of HAND we can now HANDLE FINGers or DIGITs. Experts are uncertain to what degree ideas in FIVE and FANG are linked with FINGER. Another idea in finger or PALECZ in Ukrainian is that they are like sticks or PALka.

Holding hands enhances peace of mind.

The THickest, THigh like finger or THumb is also called POLLEX. This is provocative in view that POLLUX is a mythological PUGilist. Surely POLLUX had to flex his POLLEX over his fingers to make a FIST or a PUG hand in order to practice PUGilism or boxing.

The Spanish terms DIGITo and DEDO are derived from Latin where each finger has a specific name: the THUmb is POLLEX; the fore-finger or index is SALUTARIS - many military officers, to this day, salute by touching the rim of their hat or forehead with their index finger; the third or middle finger is IMPUDICUS or INFAMIS because it has been used forever to gesticulate infamous insults; the forth or ring finger is the ANNULARIS and the fifth is AURICULARIS - being the smallest it can be used to scratch the opening of the AURICular or ear canal.

The annular digit is the finger "of the heart".
