Arm or Hand ?

My published source (quite dated) indicated the would was to the hand rather than arm. Is there a source on cutting to the shoulder? WBardwin 03:19, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The version of the Book of Invasions in Cross & Slover's Ancient Irish Tales says "in the joining of the battle their king, Nuada, had his arm hewn off from his shoulder". Another version in Koch & Carey's The Celtic Heroic Age lacks that phrase, but says that Dian Cecht and Creidhne fitted him with a silver arm "with the full vigour of an arm in every finger and every joint". An online edition translates the same phrase as "a silver arm with activity in every finger and every joint". In Old Irish lám could mean either arm or hand, but in this case it seems to mean arm - if it meant hand, surely they would have stopped at finger. --Nicknack009 19:10, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
