Multilingual glosses are uniform across number: Spanish 'dedo/dedos,' Arabic 'إِصْبَع/أَصَابِع,' Hindi 'उँगली/उँगलियों,' Korean '손가락/손가락들,' Swahili 'kidole/vidole.' Occurrences include Jesus writing with his finger (John 8:6), the finger of God casting out demons (Luke 11:20), Thomas invited to put his finger into the nail marks (John 20:25, 27), and the Pharisees refusing to lift a finger to help (Matt 23:4; Luke 11:46). 8×
