# What did we talk about?

It's not "boy" or "teenager" or "greeter".  It's Personal Assitant to a Zen Master.

It's not "arm" or "forearm" or "hand" or even "whole finger".

With these translations we have multiple problems: 1. logistical problem, chopping off with what? gotten where? with what medical emergency?  
2.  language problem, when does the word for arm-forearm-hand-finger-tip get distinguished in cultures?  
3.  culture problem, if everyone knows about cutting off a fingertip and everyone knows people who are missing a tip of a finger, why would anybody read it any other way?
