δακτύλῳ
dáktylos
finger
a finger; refers to one of the digits of the hand, used both in the literal, anatomical sense ('finger') and occasionally in metaphorical expressions or as a measurement term (e.g., a unit of width). Primary meaning is the anatomical finger, especially as distinguished from the broader term for 'hand'. In rare cases, can refer to a stylus or writing implement, by extension from the use of a finger for writing in dust or wax.
