Semantics

Russian differs from English in that the word ногђ may mean either "leg," (i.e. either of the two lower limbs of a biped, including a human being, or any of the paired limbs of animals) or "foot" (i.e. the part of the leg below the ankle joint). This entry is concerned with both of these uses. Common sense will dictate which of the expressions in this entry can or cannot be used to refer to animals or humans.

For the distinction between the word ступнї¹ and its synonym ногђ, see Lexical Relationships: Synonyms.
