I have a question about fingers: How common is it in languages of the world to have diffenrent names for the 4 other fingers than the thumb? Names that are not only a distinction of sizes or order? I know that there aresuch names in French but not English. What's about the other languages? It is to know if I really need to create names for the 4 little fingers in addition of the generic word for finger or if people don't really need to be so specific or are confortable with using size/order distinction - Max
