- Greek ἄκρον denotes extremity/tip in general spatial terms; Hebrew בֹּהֶן specifically anatomical extremities (thumb, great toe) as the referent body parts themselves, not merely their tips—the Greek term captures the concept through spatial position (outermost point), the Hebrew through body-part taxonomy.
