        Glosses: left hand

        Comments: The left hand is designated in a number of languages by an idiomatic phrase which normally contrasts with expressions for the right hand. For example, one may often speak of the left hand as ‘the bad hand’ or ‘the weak hand,’ and in some instances as ‘the anus hand,’ since this is the hand used in cleansing the body after defecation. See also {D:8.32}.
