  Well, fortunately in both, reference of an adjective is usually used to
modify which limb these goes to. "Finger" is given as _palyets_ -- whereas
"toe" is given as _palyets nogi_. _Palyets_ is literally "digit," which is
how I translated it in my studies on Barsbold's older works.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
