This sense is also derived from the hard to read Osage slip "a," which gives "a kshe" as "the forelegs of an animal."
𐒰arm
To specify what kind of arm or foreleg you want to express, name the animal first. For example, "tse a" refers to the foreleg(s) of a buffalo (cow). If you want to specify the right or left arm, right or left follows arm. For example, "a ishdoⁿka" is "right arm."This particular entry is considered the more accurate way to express this idea in modern Osage.The positional article 𐒼𐓇𐒷 comes from Dorsey.
