Hand, in my words

handlofh : hand

The Fennas word for hand is lofh. Lofh is a rare last name.

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh word for hand is llaw; the Irish word for hand is lámh; and the Breton word for hand is dorn. In addition, the Cornish word for hand is leuv/leyf or dorn.

I've added the fh consonant combination, which will be pronounced like v, to use for Irish mh and bh.
