?!?!? I already knew where each set of finger is. As I understand the english non-medical way of finger description, some people use the word "pinkie" to describe the little toe as well. thus the confusion..

The finger verbs are {Sen/rIl}, {SIq}, {qay}, {qew}, and {qan}, going from thumb to little finger. The toe verbs are {mar}, {Hom}, {roS}, {nan}, and {Qay'}, going from big toe to little toe.

I respect your opinion, but I don't agree. They are confusing and useless.

There are Earth languages that describe relatives the same or in similar ways. They seem to manage just fine.
