While we have a name for each finger, the Chinese neglect one of them – at least as far as naming is concerned. The ring finger is often referred to as the „finger without a name“ (无 wú „without,“ 名 míng „name,“ 指 zhǐ „finger; pointing“). Fortunately, not everywhere – in some places, it is called 环指 (huánzhǐ), „ring finger,“ like in the West.
