    Not considered related to Latin digitus, Greek daktylos, In historical Germanic languages apparently applied to the digits of the foot exclusively, but perhaps prehistorically meaning “fingers” as well

    Actually, it seems to be the other way. Fingers actually are toes of the hand. Doesn’t make sense, so it must be true. Like noses are tails of the face.
