(À Ypres, pendant la 1ère Guerre Mondiale)
"The swans from the Lille Gate sailed round this morning. The cob, a great beauty, appears to have been wounded. One of his left ** wing digits ** looks as if it had been broken and had set badly. "
Je suppose qu'il s'agit de l'un des os qui forment l'aile, mais parle-t-on de "doigt" dans ce cas ?
Merci d'avance !

doigt alulaire
According to the site below, they talk about 'main', and there are several Ghits for 'doigt', including 'doigt alulaire', though I'm not sure if that is the exact term or not?
