I had no idea âfingers of the feetâ was so wide-spread. Even in Wales!

Bys troed = âfootâs fingerâ, as opposed to bys llaw âhandâs fingerâ.
They missed Irish; mĂ©ar coise is a âfootâs fingerâ, and similarly mĂ©ara on its own could mean âfingersâ or âtoesâ depending on context.

Yes, but iâm reading the map as implying that this is common parlance which i had never before heard despite living here all my life.

In Irish and Scots, there at least seems to be a distinct word that can mean toe (âladharâ), though I donât know whether this is in wide use. This might be why they are categorized as âtoeâ regions on the map rather than âfoot fingerâ.
I donât know from Welsh either â @politeruin, is there a word distinct from âbysâ that you would use to mean âtoeâ?
