Murcous
Murcous adj.- lacking thumbs.
(pictured: A person exhibiting triphalyngeal thumb. This case appears to not be opposable. There is loss of function because the thumb has the same functions as a finger, so no grasping. Only flexion, extension, adduction and abduction, no “crossing” or “grasping” like a normal thumb. Picture from Gawker)
