Esperanto splits the limb where English does not always bother: the is the leg, the is the foot, and putting your shoes on your will get you a look. The same care applies at the top, where is the arm and the hand. Furniture legs are too, so a table has four. The root is short and takes affixes cleanly, giving o for a little leg and a for anything ring-shaped about the leg, and it has nothing to do with , cruel, despite sharing three letters.
