While this is true, it is also true that since each finger has three knuckles,
we might be attracted to the idea that the "middle" knuckle (the one you use to
knock on a door) is nItlh qIv, the knuckle you hit people with is nItlh qIv'a'
and the one you have a really hard time moving without moving the other two is
qIvHom.
Note here that I'm just playing with an idea here. I AM NOT PROPOSING OFFICIAL
VOCABULARY HERE. Okay?
