What does it mean word for word?

To refer to a single toe, use the singular form δάχτυλο των ποδιών instead of the plural δάχτυλα των ποδιών.

dachtyla ton podion

The word δάχτυλος (finger/toe) is the root of the English word 'dactyl', used in poetry to describe a specific metrical foot consisting of one long and two short syllables.
The word δάχτυλος was historically used in Greece as a unit of measurement, where one 'dactyl' was roughly the width of a human finger or toe.
In many Greek idioms involving digits, the distinction between fingers and toes is ignored, as δάχτυλο serves as the universal term for a digit.
