[edit] Independence of movement

This article could probably incorporate information about the ring finger's lack of ability to move independently. Why is that, anyway? - Vague | Rant 01:57, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

I was just gonna write that. Someone please look that up. Redwolf24 10:04, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

I have added the information from László A. Magyar's thesis. I'm afraid some of the finger names might be wrong, because I haven't checked them by myself except English, Japanese, Mandarin, and Latin. Please correct them if necessary. - TAKASUGI Shinji 06:33, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

There should probably be a picture of a hand, to show which one is the ring finger. Thanks! Scope2776 21:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other section

As for it doesn't state its sources, for the second one, why don't you look at your bloody hand?

I did. Guess what? I can do it! I'm a medical miracle!82.7.106.54 02:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ring finger in hebrew

the hebrew word for ring finger is listed here as kmitzah with languages that call it a "ring finger". but kmitzah comes from a service the preists would do in the temple in which they would grab flour from an offering of flour. i seriously doubt any relation to rings.
