𐒰arm
To specify what kind of arm or foreleg you want to express, name the animal first. For example, 𐓊𐒷 𐒰 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, 𐒰 𐒻𐓇𐓈𐓂͘𐒼𐒰 is "right arm."This particular entry is considered the more accurate way to express this idea in modern Osage.
