{va'nuch} "heel" (n., body part)
  -nIb va'nuchDu'chaj
    "their heels are identical"

I don't have HolQeD in front of me, but when I read the article, I was
very interested to discover that word.  However, how do you know that
the word refers to the heel of the foot and not the heel of a boot.  The
sentence above particularly struck me as a comparison of boot heels, not
feet.  Was there something in the article that made it clear or are you
just assuming that it is the body part?
