Left and right

Two new words here are poS left side and nIH right side. These are nouns, so on the left side would be poSDaq, for example.

Fingers and toes

Klingons' hands and feet are very flexible, and they can easily move each of their fingers or toes independently of the others.

Verbs

There is a separate verb for each of these digit movements, e.g. SIq to use the index finger or nan to use the fourth toe.

The object of such a verb, if present, is the item which is manipulated or touched with that finger or toe, similar to the English usage of to thumb a switch = to flip a switch using the thumb.

If the verb has no object, but there is a noun with the locative suffix -Daq, then the meaning of the finger/toe verbs is point—for example, lurvengDaq jISIq I 'index finger' at Lurveng would mean I point at Lurveng with my index finger.

The verbs taught here are:

Sen to use the thumb
SIq to use the index finger
qay to use the middle finger
qew to use the ring finger
qan to use the pinkie finger

(Those who live in New York State may be reminded of the Finger Lakes, which include Seneca, Skaneateles, Cayuga, Keuka, and Canandaigua Lake.)

for the fingers and

mar to use the big toe
Hom to use the second toe
roS to use the third toe
nan to use the fourth toe
Qay' to use the little toe

(Any similarities to the nursery rhyme "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed at home; this little piggy has roast beef, this little piggy had none. And this little piggy cried 'Wee, wee, wee!' all the way home" that some families play on infants' toes are almost certainly coincidental.)

Nouns

The names of the fingers and toes are derived from the verbs with the agent suffix -wI'.

Thus a thumb is a SenwI' (literally, a thumb-er, or thing which thumbs, or thing which is used in a thumb-like manner) an index finger is a SIqwI', and so on.
