This index is an attempt to make sense of weekly blog posts that have no logical order and so hopefully it may help find a way through to things you are interested in. But as an index it is as idiosyncratic as the rest of the blog, so don't expect to find things in a logical order, they are instead grouped together in ways that seemed interesting at the time. Perhaps think of it as an aid to surfing or an an index finger, something to help point with.
The index finger is named that because of the finger’s use in pointing: the English word index being rooted in an earlier word meaning “to show.” Names that associate this finger with pointing can be found around the globe, but others come into play as well. English speakers also call it the forefinger because of its position as the first of the fingers proper, excluding the thumb. Medieval texts refer to it as the “greeter” and “teacher.” In Anglo-Saxon times, it was known as the “scythe finger,” for reasons that are murky, and as the “shooting finger,” because it was used to draw back a bowstring.Around the world, the index finger is associated with other functions. In Iranian languages, it is considered the finger of beckoning, cursing, and protecting. It is also known as the “prayer finger” or “testimony finger”—the label in modern Turkish—because of its use in the Muslim practice of shahada, or profession of faith. One of its most colourful nicknames was based on its penchant for swiping up sauces: the “pot licker.” So as you go through this index, perhaps think of it as a big pot, and that you are dipping your finger in it in order to taste what things might be like.
