hallux: big toe
minimus: little toe

Who doesn't love a good twofer? Seems strange to me that they're not based on the same root words or Latin bases. If the little one is minimus, shouldn't the big one be maximus?

Anyway, they are what they are. But it does make me feel a little bad for the three in between. They don't get names, besides "second, third, and fourth toes."
