Little Finger
Pinky Finger, Pinky, Little Toe, Pinky Toe
noun
The small finger is your little finger or pinky finger. Makes sense, but it's also used for the pinky on your feet. You know, your pinky toe.
This word uses the kun'yomi readings from both kanji, probably because it includes body parts. You know them both already, so now you know this too!
