  Ok, so Albanian and Greek are the outliers here. Albanian is it’s own language group.

  Though, to be fair to Greek, the word is for toe and finger is δάχτυλο. Dachtylo. Which is kind of like “digit.” Even in Koine Greek. Also, arm and hand are the same word, and leg and foot are the same word.

  My Greek isn’t good enough to say for sure, but a pre-Google language manuals call both finger and toe dachtylo. Then specify hand or foot. Or…specify arm or leg? Arm digit? Leg digit?

  Greece should be a grey “N/A”

  For some reason I always get really annoyed when Lithuanian gets grouped into slavic even when it makes sense.
